On-Device OCR on Android with ML Kit Text Recognition v2 and CameraX

Prompt Injection on Gemini Nano: How We Stopped It
We attacked Gemini Nano with prompt injection — it worked. The model's safety training made it too trusting. Here's our defense-in-depth approach to hardening on-device AI.
Fixing Gemini Nano's Accuracy with a Bigger Model
Nano misclassified foods and was case-sensitive. We used Gemini Pro to rewrite the prompt — with prefix caching, inference hit 1.0s. Results inside.
AI Agents Migrated Our Nav 2 to Nav 3 Code - Free vs Paid Compared
We gave Gemini and Claude Code the same Navigation 3 migration task. Both produced eerily similar code, and both hallucinated library versions. Only one ran autonomously.
Building an On-Device AI App with Gemini Nano in Kotlin
We classified pantry items on-device with the ML Kit GenAI Prompt API — zero cloud costs, offline support. Structured JSON output ran in 1.36s vs 5.9s for freeform. Full Kotlin source and device compatibility list.
