Google\u2019s methodology includes looking at how the models can work with Jetpack Compose for UI, Coroutines and Flows for asynchronous programming, room for persistence, and hilt for dependency injection, among other factors.<\/p>\n<p>In the first update to this list, Google has added two new models in OpenAI\u2019s GPT 5.4 and GPT 5.3 Codex, and they quickly jump towards the top of the list. <\/p>\n<p>Best AI for Android app development, according to Google (4\/9\/26)<\/p>\n<p>New: GPT 5.4: 72.4%<\/p>\n<p>Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview:\u00a072.4%<\/p>\n<p>New: GPT 5.3-Codex: 67.7%<\/p>\n<p>Claude Opus 4.6:\u00a066.6%<\/p>\n<p>GPT-5.2 Codex:\u00a062.5%<\/p>\n<p>Claude Opus 4.5:\u00a061.9%<\/p>\n<p>Gemini 3 Pro Preview:\u00a060.4%<\/p>\n<p>Claude Sonnet 4.6:\u00a058.4%<\/p>\n<p>Claude Sonnet 4.5:\u00a054.2%<\/p>\n<p>Gemini 3 Flash Preview:\u00a042%<\/p>\n<p>Gemini 2.5 Flash:\u00a016.1%<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the list didn\u2019t change this time around, with the results used still from late February in that initial run. OpenAI\u2019s latest models were tested in mid-March ahead of this week\u2019s release of those results.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these results shouldn\u2019t be treated as an absolute fact. As with any benchmark, reality often differs from controlled tests. There are a ton of variables for why one model might work better for you than another, including workflow, value, and more. <\/p>\n<p>Google originally said that its goal in publishing these results was to help developers be \u201cmore productive\u201d and, ultimately, deliver \u201chigher quality apps across the Android ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More on Android:<\/p>\n<p>Follow Ben:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4dZciVW\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-710515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775763969_952_750x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"140\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201cAndroid Bench\u201d for ranking AI models used in Android app development has been updated, with OpenAI\u2019s latest&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,61,60,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-390394","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
