Comment on Ask HN: What is the long term purpose of Google releasing free offline models?

Comments

I'm assuming the bet is that giving away the local models encourages developers to use their cloud ones for more complex tasks

All it's done is make me scratch my head and wonder how many millions of dollars was spent to develop something and then just give it away with no strings.

I'm sure there are strings somewhere but I'm not sure what they lead to.

I haven't felt any inclination to utilize their cloud models because of it.
