The company has a history of discontinuing apps and experiments without prior notice. This move could be due to the increasing popularity of large language models and generative AI tools, prompting Google to focus more on testing features for its consumer products. In May, Google announced a new portal, Google Labs, for users to sign up for generative AI-based experiments, including the MusicLM experiment, which is currently the only one hosted on the AI Test Kitchen.
Key takeaways:
- Google has removed its AI Test Kitchen app from the Play Store and the App Store, choosing to focus solely on the web platform.
- The AI Test Kitchen was launched last year to allow users to interact with projects powered by different AI models, but will now only be available as a web experience.
- The Test Kitchen currently only hosts a single text-to-music language model experiment called MusicLM, announced earlier this year at Google IO.
- Google also announced a new portal called Google Labs during Google IO in May, which allows users to sign up for generative AI-based experiments, including the MusicLM experiment.
