Gemini Nano has lived on devices since 2024, Google told Gizmodo on Wednesday. According to a Google blog post, the tiny model allows developers to “deliver rich generative AI experiences without needing a network connection or sending data to the cloud,” especially in cases where “low cost, and privacy safeguards are your primary concerns.”

Founded by Yang Zhilin, who made the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list in 2021, Kimi’s existing backers include Chinese tech giants Alibaba and Tencent. Its K2.6 model ranks among the world’s top three most popular AI models,

The problem with rolling your own AI is that your system memory probably isn’t very fast compared to the high bandwidth memory (HBM) used in enterprise hardware. As a result, the processor spends a lot of time moving parameters from VRAM to compute units for each token, and compute cycles are going unused during this process.

CoCoGraph uses a diffusion model, a technique common in image generation, to generate realistic molecules for therapeutics and sustainability.
