Hi daneel, what would you like GrapheneOS to do while you develop your own formally verified, open hardware, open source firmware/OS baseband processor they can use? Sit on their hands doing nothing or making the best of the least worst options currently available?

The Pixels already are the best of the least worst options currently available. Anything new must categorically bring improvements, and the closed source firmware of the Pixels is a pressing point.

That's reasonable, and I hope we get there.

Qualcomm is an American company, and it sounds like the GrapheneOS team is working directly with them on developing the spec for this, including hardware MTE support. That's promising and I think could bring improvements over the current situation, if not open source modem firmware, unfortunately. I'm hoping to be surprised, though.
