Google is building its Gemini Nano AI model into Chrome on the desktop
At the Google I/O 2024 developer conference on Tuesday, Google announced that it is building Gemini Nano, the smallest of its AI models, directly into the Chrome desktop client, starting with Chrome 126. Google itself plans to use this new capability to power features like the existing "help me write" tool from Workspace Lab in Gmail, for example. The company says it's the recent work on WebGPU and WASM support in Chrome that enables these models to run at a reasonable speed on a wide set of hardware.

Google adds 'Web' search filter for showing old-school text links as AI rolls out
As Google revamps itself for the AI era, offering AI overviews within its search results, the company is introducing a new way to filter for just text-based links. According to Google, the new "Web" filter will appear either at the top of the results page or as part of the "More" option, depending on your query. The launch is an admission that sometimes people will want to just surface text-based links to web pages -- the classic blue links that today are often of secondary importance as Google either answers the question in its informational Knowledge Panels or, now, through AI experiments.
