Server costs? Latency? Pfft. Not with client-side AI → goo.gle/4g5M0Ak

Build that real-time, AI-powered photobooth app you've been dreaming of. Run the image segmentation model directly on the user's device and give your users the privacy and speed they deserve.

That video game boss that keeps beating you? Probably not Gemini.

It's likely a heuristics model using simple if/else statements. But what about the AI that filters your spam or recommends your next movie. They're all different →goo.gle/41GoCnc

✨ Looking for inspiration on what to build for the Google Chrome Built-in AI Challenge 2025?

Here's a recording of demo I built that implements a smart filtering feature with the Prompt API's structured output and accepts voice input with the Multimodal feature.

Saw @ThePrimeTime's video (youtu.be/ciNXbR5wvhU?...) & comments around HTTP cache & sharing across origins.

Resources have long been isolated due to partitioning (2020+ in Chrome, longer in other browsers).

Spreading knowledge is hard 😳: developer.chrome.com/blog/http-ca...

I get uncomfortable when people say "the web will always win" or "don't bet against the web". While there are things that make the medium unique and special but with LLMs the nature of the link might change

I've started a blog about the intersection between the Web and AI. I'm not sharing it broadly, but I'd love some private feedback on the articles I've already published.

If you have some time I'd love to share it with you and get some thoughts on the content and also future topics to address.

Prompt API + built-in Nano model on @googlechrome to summarize XKCD comics locally.x

No server. No latency. Just pure browser-side AI magic.

Been following (and nudging) this since early days, awesome to see multi-modal capabilities enabled here.
