MediaPipeai.google.devThe MediaPipe LLM Inference API lets you run on-device large language models for text generation, retrieval, and summarization across Android, iOS, and Web. It offers multiple LLMs, model selection, LoRA customization, and can export PyTorch models to LiteRT tflite bundles via LiteRT Torch, with models hosted on the LiteRT Community page. The API is in maintenance-only mode with a recommended migration to LiteRT-LM, and use is governed by the Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy; platform-specific guides are available for Web, Android, and iOS.
