Google is also in talks with other browser vendors to enable this feature in their browsers. The company is betting on enabling a number of high-level APIs in Chrome to translate, caption, and transcribe text in the browser using its Gemini models. Google is now using the built-in Gemini Nano model to power some new features in the Chrome DevTools Console, allowing the Chrome dev tools to explain errors and provide debugging solutions right in the console.
Key takeaways:
- Google is integrating its smallest AI model, Gemini Nano, into the Chrome desktop client starting with Chrome 126, announced at the Google I/O 2024 developer conference.
- This integration will allow developers to use the on-device model to power their own AI features, and Google plans to use it to enhance features like the “help me write” tool in Gmail.
- Google is in discussions with other browser vendors to enable similar features in their browsers and is opening an early preview program for developers.
