Reduced latency. Which has an apparent performance boost versus sending data to Google for processing and waiting for a response.

Potentially improved privacy (this is how Apple tries to sell it). Less data has to leave the phone to gain the utility of the ML models.

Improved device performance. Reduced network use and better specialized chips leading to better performance. Either in terms of better battery life or better time to get the result.

On a Google device I would say the potential is reduced to zero!

I agree that the prospect is ludicrous. Hoping for potential of privacy from an ad-tech giant. Nonsense.
