Google has quietly launched an experimental app called the Google AI Edge Gallery, marking a significant step forward in edge computing and privacy-focused AI deployment. This application enables users to run open-source AI models from the Hugging Face platform directly on their smartphones, allowing functions like image generation, text processing, and code editing without an internet connection. A landmark in local AI, the Google AI Edge Gallery achieves this through Google's LiteRT (

Intel has announced the open-sourcing of its generative AI software, AI Playground, generating significant interest within the AI community. Optimized for Intel Arc GPUs and integrated graphics, AI Playground is described as an 'AI hub' that supports local running of chat-based Large Language Models (LLMs), as well as image and video generation capabilities. This open-sourcing signifies Intel's commitment to advancing the accessibility of generative AI technology.

A new Gartner report predicts that by 2027, enterprises will utilize task-specific AI models three times more frequently than general-purpose large language models. While acknowledging the strong language processing capabilities of general-purpose models, the report highlights their decreased accuracy in tasks requiring deep understanding of specific business domains. Consequently, businesses are increasingly focusing on customized AI models to meet their unique needs. Image note: Image generated by AI, image licensing provided by Midjourney.

As robotics technology advances, industries are increasingly adopting robots to automate various strenuous tasks. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), over 540,000 new industrial robots were installed globally in 2023, bringing the total number of active industrial robots to over 4 million. While traditional industrial robots excel at repetitive tasks, they still face challenges in performing delicate tasks, handling fragile materials, and adapting to changing conditions. For example, robots in restaurant kitchens may cause more disruption than assistance.
