We don’t yet.
We’ve considered this as an approach for other assets — string translations,
per-locale tiles, hyphenation dictionaries — but nothing has been built so far.
If these reco models are ~8MB each, then some such mechanism (and its
supporting CDNs/Play packaging, tooling, updaters, et al) becomes a de facto
dependency for shipping this on Android. We can’t take a 25%+ size hit for this
feature.
Granted, we don’t have to solve every problem in the area just to pull down
models, but we’re definitely going to be bumping into a bunch of obstacles that
we’ve charted out for other work, and it’d be nice to kill several birds with
one stone, so keep that in mind.
