<h1>NimbleEdge and Microsoft join forces to bring private, offline Foundry Local AI experiences to everyday Android apps</h1> NimbleEdge, an on-device AI infrastructure provider, has entered into a collaboration with Microsoft to help bring Microsoft's Foundry Local AI platform to Android devices. The initiative, announced at a technology conference, aims to enable small language models to run locally on smartphones, offering low latency, offline reliability, and enhanced user privacy by minimizing cloud dependence. An unnamed major Indian digital payments platform is the first enterprise adopter, integrating agent-based AI features into consumer apps. NimbleEdge is designing secure background services, long-running model downloads, and secure-bound interfaces, and its DeliteAI product supports context handling, agent orchestration, and unified performance across diverse hardware, facilitating large-scale, privacy-preserving deployment of on-device AI.
