Implementation of AI in mobile applications: Comparative analysis of On-Device and On-Server approaches on Native Android and Flutter
The article discusses the integration of AI in mobile applications, focusing on On-Device versus On-Server approaches. It compares the implementation of machine learning models on Native Android using Kotlin and on Flutter using Dart. The author shares insights from their research and development of two MVP applications presented at an international conference.
- ▪The article analyzes the differences between local and server AI computing in mobile applications.
- ▪On-Device solutions offer advantages like low latency and data privacy, but face resource limitations and reduced accuracy.
- ▪On-Server solutions provide high accuracy and offload processing from the device, but depend on internet connectivity and incur infrastructure costs.
