Private Compute Services

Private Compute Services enhances on-device machine learning features built into Android's Private Compute Core, including Live Caption, Now Playing, and Smart Reply. These powerful capabilities work directly on your device, keeping your data private while delivering intelligent functionality.

Machine learning models improve over time, and Private Compute Services enables these updates through a privacy-first approach. Rather than sending your personal information to external servers, the service manages model updates over a completely private path. Features communicate with Private Compute Services using open-source APIs, ensuring transparency and security at every step.

Your privacy is protected through multiple privacy technologies working in concert. The service removes identifying information before any data processing occurs, and employs advanced techniques including federated learning, federated analytics, and private information retrieval. This means your device benefits from continuous model improvements without compromising your personal data.

Private Compute Services operates invisibly in the background, allowing Android features to stay current and effective while maintaining the highest privacy standards. You get smarter, more responsive on-device intelligence—live captions that adapt, music recognition that improves, and smart replies that learn your style—all without sacrificing your privacy. The entire system is built on open-source principles, with source code available for public review and scrutiny.

Choose intelligence that respects your privacy. Private Compute Services delivers the benefits of machine learning updates while keeping your data exactly where it belongs—on your device.
