Anyone thinking about the security side of Gemma 4 on phones?

Discussion

Seeing Gemma 4 run locally on phones is really cool, but I feel like most of the discussion is about speed, RAM, battery, privacy, etc.

I’m curious what people think about the security side once these models get more capable on mobile.

Things like:

  • model tampering
  • malicious attacks against models
  • local data leakage
  • tool use going wrong if mobile agents become more common

Do you guys think running locally is actually safer or more private overall, or does it just open an new attack surface?
