đ Google AI Edge Gallery: Bringing Offline AI Models to Your Smartphone

Google has quietly launched Google AI Edge Gallery, an experimental app that lets users download and run a variety of AI models directly on their Android devicesâno internet required. An iOS version is coming soon. This marks a significant step toward privacy-focused, on-device AI that works even when you're offline.
Key Highlights:
Run AI Models Locally: Download models like Googleâs Gemma 3n from Hugging Face and use them offline for image generation, chat, coding, and moreâdirectly on your phone.
Stronger Privacy: All AI processing happens on your device, so your data stays private and never leaves your phone.
All-in-One Home Screen: The app offers shortcuts for key AI tasks:
âą Ask Image: Upload an image to get answers, descriptions, or object IDs.
âą AI Chat: Chat with your favorite models offline.
âą Prompt Lab: Use templates for tasks like summarizing, rewriting, and coding.
Built for Developers: The app is open source (Apache 2.0), allowing both personal and commercial use. Easily switch between models, test performance, and share feedback with Google.
Performance Depends on Device: Model speed and features vary based on your phoneâs hardware and the size of the model. Newer devices handle larger models better.
What This Means for You:
Google AI Edge Gallery gives you access to powerful AI featuresâlike image analysis, chat, and codingâwherever you are, even without an internet connection. That means you can ask questions, generate images, or run smart tools on the go, without sending your data to the cloud. Itâs a major win for privacy and convenience.
You can experiment with different models, optimize for speed, and create experiences that work seamlessly offline. This tool puts cutting-edge generative AI right in your pocket.
âĄïž Perplexity Labs: Turning Prompts into Projects, Dashboards, and Apps in Minutes

Perplexity AI has introduced Perplexity Labs, a new tool that lets you turn a simple prompt into a full projectâreports, dashboards, spreadsheets, and even web appsâin just a few minutes. Itâs a major shift from Perplexityâs Q&A roots to a platform for real productivity and creation.
Key Highlights:
From Idea to Execution: Go from prompt to a ready-made dashboard, map, or marketing planâno manual setup.âhandled end-to-end by AI agents.
Versatile Deliverables: Create reports with charts, dashboards, spreadsheets, code, and simple web apps.
Automated Workflow: Labs runs for up to 10 minutes, using web search, code, and image generation to deliver polished results.
All Assets Organized: All files and charts are organized in an âAssetsâ tab, while the âAppâ tab lets you launch dashboards and apps right from the interface.
Available Everywhere: Available now for Pro users on web and mobile, with desktop apps coming soon. Project Gallery offers ready-to-use templates.
Faster Task Completion: Combine research, coding, and visualization to finish projects in minutes, that would otherwise take days.
What This Means for You:
Perplexity Labs brings your ideas to life, letting you go from prompt to project in just a few clicksâno coding, no design background required. Whether youâre building a business dashboard, generating a research report, or prototyping a web app, Labs saves you hours by automating the heavy lifting.
This means more time for strategy and decision-making, and less spent on manual research or repetitive tasks.
đ€ Mistral Agents API: A New Era for Autonomous, Action-Oriented AI

Mistral AI has released the Mistral Agents API, a powerful new framework for building AI agents that plan, act, and manage complex tasks on their own. This puts Mistral in direct competition with platforms from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropicânow with a strong focus on real-world automation.
Key Highlights:
Smarter Agents: Go beyond chatâagents can take actions, remember past conversations, and work together to solve complex problems.
Built-in Connectors: Agents can run Python code, perform live web searches, generate images, and access documents from the cloud for advanced tasks.
Open Standards: Supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) for easy integration with APIs, databases, and dynamic data sources.
Multi-Agent Collaboration: Agents can hand off tasks to each other, enabling complex workflows and teamwork between specialized agents.
Enterprise-Ready: Designed for both developers and large companies to power assistants for software, finance, travel, nutrition, and more.
Better Performance: Web search integration leads to major accuracy boostsâSimpleQA accuracy rises from 23% to 75% for Mistral Large.
What This Means for you:
With the Mistral Agents API, AI can now do more than just chatâit can complete real tasks, find information, and help you get things done faster. You can use it to automate work, get better answers, and save time. Itâs like having a smart assistant you can rely on.
This makes it easy for anyone to use powerful AI in their daily work or build new tools without extra effort.
