Core AI vs LiteRT

I am trying to decide what technology to adopt for local AI inference on mobile devices. I tried the EdgeGallery demo app and was genuinely impressed.

For an app using local Gemma 4, LiteRT-LM gives me a shared, OS-managed model on Android via AICore, up-to-date Gemma 4 support, and a working ANE/Core ML delegate on iOS today. What does building on Core AI’s .aimodel pipeline get me that LiteRT-LM doesn’t?

Core AI has no cross-app shared memory, and every app has to bring its own model resources regardless. Also, the current model catalog seems to trail LiteRT’s. What am I missing?
