Google quietly released an app that lets you download and run AI models locally
Google discreetly unveiled an app last week that enables users to run a variety of publicly available AI models from the Hugging Face AI development platform on their phones. The Google AI Edge Gallery app is currently available on Android and will soon be accessible on iOS. Users can locate, download, and run compatible models that can write and edit code, create pictures, and respond to queries. The devices utilize the CPUs of compatible phones to function offline, without requiring an internet connection. Although cloud-based AI models are frequently more potent than their local counterparts, they do have drawbacks. Some users might want to have models available without having to locate a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, or they may be hesitant to send sensitive or private information to a distant data center. You may obtain Google AI Edge Gallery from GitHub by following these steps. Google is referring to this as a "experimental Alpha release." Shortcuts to AI functions and tasks, such as "Ask Image" and "AI Chat," are displayed on the home screen. When a capability is tapped, a list of models that are appropriate for the task is displayed, including Google's Gemma 3n. Additionally, Google AI Edge Gallery offers a "Prompt Lab" where users can begin "single-turn" model-powered tasks, such as rewriting and summarizing material. Several task templates and adjustable settings are included in the Prompt Lab to help you fine-tune the behaviors of the models. Google cautions that your mileage may differ in terms of performance. Models will inevitably run faster on modern devices with more powerful hardware, but model size is also important. When asked a question regarding an image, for example, larger models will take longer to finish than smaller models. Google is asking developers to provide their thoughts about the Google AI Edge Gallery experience. Because the application is licensed under Apache 2.0, it can be used without limitation in the majority of situations, whether they are commercial or not.

Sam Altman biographer Keach Hagey explains why the OpenAI CEO was ‘born for this moment’
Wall Street Journal reporter Keach Hagey explores our AI-obsessed era through one of its major players, Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, in his article "The Optimist: Sam Altman, OpenAI, and the Race to Invent the Future." Hagey starts by discussing Altman's Midwest background before guiding readers through his work at Y Combinator, startup Loopt, and now OpenAI. She also provides fresh insight into the events of Altman's dramatic dismissal and swift reinstatement as CEO of OpenAI. Looking back at what OpenAI staff now refer to as "the Blip," Hagey said the unsuccessful attempt to remove Altman demonstrated that OpenAI's intricate organizational structure, which consists of a for-profit business run by a nonprofit board, is "not stable." Additionally, Hagey said that this "fundamentally unstable arrangement" will "continue to give investors pause," as OpenAI has mostly backed down from ambitions to allow the for-profit side take control. Does that imply that OpenAI may have trouble raising the money it requires to continue operating? In response, Hagey said it might "definitely" be a problem. "My investigation into Sam indicates that he may perhaps meet that task," she stated. "However, success is not assured." Furthermore, Altman's views are examined in Hagey's biography (also available on Spotify as an audiobook), which she characterized as "quite classically progressive." It is rather unexpected that he has landed big data center partnerships with the support of the Trump administration. But because Trump and Sam Altman are both deal makers, Hagey remarked, "I feel like Sam Altman was born for this moment in some respects." "Sam Altman excels at making a big deal with a huge price tag, and Trump respects nothing more than that." Hagey also talked about Altman's reaction to the book, his credibility, and the AI "hype universe" in an interview with TechCrunch. The length and clarity of this interview have been adjusted. You begin the book by addressing some of Sam Altman's concerns about the project, such as the notion that it is far too early to evaluate OpenAI's effects and that we frequently concentrate too much on individuals rather than groups or large movements. Did you have similar worries? Well, since this was a biography, I do not really share them. The goal of this research was to examine a person rather than an institution. Furthermore, I believe that Sam Altman has positioned himself in such a way that it matters what moral decisions he has made and how he has developed his moral character since the overall goal of artificial intelligence is, in fact, a moral endeavor. That is the foundation for OpenAI. Therefore, I believe it is reasonable to inquire about a person rather than just an organization. Regarding the question of whether it is too early, I mean, it is unquestionably [early to] evaluate the full impact of AI. However, OpenAI has had an incredible journey; thus far, it has altered the stock market and the whole corporate narrative. My profession is business journalism. All day, every day, we just talk about artificial intelligence. Therefore, I do not believe it is too early.
