TFLite GPU 16 KB page-size fix: moved to com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert-gpu

Artifact org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite-gpu · measured 2026-10-01 · all libraries

relocated

org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite-gpu is now a POM-only stub that points at com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert-gpu:1.0.1. The aligned code lives in the new artifact; see relocated libraries.

Caveats

Sampled, not exhaustive: 21 of 22 published versions were measured with native code; unmeasured versions in between are unknown.

Measured evidence

	Version	Library file	p_align	File date	Source
Last offending	`2.16.1`	`jni/arm64-v8a/libtensorflowlite_gpu_jni.so`	4 KB (2^12)	Tue, 16 Apr 2024 18:22:34 GMT	artifact

p_align is the smallest PT_LOAD segment alignment of the ELF. 16 KB-compatible needs at least 16384 (2^14). Method: min PT_LOAD p_align of arm64-v8a/x86_64 .so inside the published AAR/JAR; aligned = >=16384 for every lib. Dates are repository file times, not official release dates.

Offending versions measured (21)

1.14.0, 1.15.0, 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0, 2.3.0, 2.4.0, 2.5.0, 2.6.0, 2.7.0, 2.7.0-rc0, 2.8.0, 2.9.0, 2.10.0, 2.10.0-rc3, 2.11.0, 2.12.0, 2.13.0, 2.14.0, 2.15.0, 2.16.1

Native libraries seen: libtensorflowlite_gpu_jni.so.

The Gradle change

RELOCATED to com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert-gpu: use com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert-gpu:1.4.0 or newer (aligned; latest measured 1.4.2); org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite-gpu 2.17.0 is a POM-only stub. WARNING: the stub points at com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert-gpu:1.0.1, which is itself 4 KB-aligned (offending on x86_64 and/or arm64): merely bumping org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite-gpu to 2.17.0 stays NON-compliant.

Confirm what Gradle actually resolves, since another dependency may pull an older version:

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency tensorflow-lite-gpu --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath

Re-verify it yourself

Download the artifact and run the free checker (check16k.py, Python 3, no dependencies):

curl -LO https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/tensorflow/tensorflow-lite-gpu/2.16.1/tensorflow-lite-gpu-2.16.1.aar
python3 check16k.py tensorflow-lite-gpu-2.16.1.aar

Exit 0 = aligned, 1 = an unaligned library found. Better still, run it on your final .aab/.apk.
