Google just unveiled DolphinGemma, a ~400M parameter model developed with Georgia Tech and the Wild Dolphin Project to decode dolphin vocalizations. Operating audio-in and audio-out, it predicts upcoming call patterns much like an LLM predicts words. Best of all, it runs directly on Pixel phones in the wild, with an open-source release planned for summer 2025.
Google just added an on-device AI scam detector to Google Messages to catch conversational text scams that start out friendly before turning nasty. The AI analyzes SMS and RCS chats from unsaved contacts in real time without sending your private messages to the cloud. It is enabled by default and rolling out first to English users in the US, UK, and Canada.
Google just launched the Pixel 9 series, powered by the custom Tensor G4 chip and up to 16GB of RAM. The lineup is the first to run multimodal Gemini Nano on-device, unlocking generative tools like Pixel Studio, Pixel Screenshots, and conversational Gemini Live.
