Bring your own model - Android Developers Backstage

In this episode Tor and Chet chat with Raluca Saucic and Eugene Yakavets about the new "Bring Your Own Model" feature in Android Studio which allows using other models than Gemini for agent mode, including models from Anthropic,  OpenAI, and more. We also discuss using local models via Ollama and LM Studio.
