I am developing an Android app. I use Google AI Edge SDK to call an on-device LLM (example app). I'd like to test the app before deploying it. The official docs state:

You will need a physical Pixel 9 device to run this sample.

Is it possible to run the app on Windows e.g. via some Android emulator (BlueStacks, etc.)?

This will be entirely dependent on an emulator supporting this function. However...

Considering the specialized hardware necessary to run LLMs locally, the jack-of-all-computations multi-purpose desktop processors are unlikely to be able to handle emulated LLM hardware processing very efficiently if at all, which leads me to believe that even IF an emulator developer WANTED to support this still-quite-new hardware-based capability, it would not be efficient, it would be very error prone, and it would be a poor analog of any real on-device capabilities.
