Chrome now comes with the built-in AI model Gemini Nano 🧠. ⬇️ But when is the model downloaded? 🆕 How do updates work? 🗑️ Does the model ever get purged? All these questions are covered in my new article "Understand built-in model management in Chrome"! 🔗 developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/unde...

ICYMI: @marianoguerra.org and I had a fun conversation with Thomas on the WasmAssembly podcast, all about our book @wasmgroundup.com. You can watch it here, or find it wherever fine podcasts are sold.

📢 New #WasmAssembly podcast 🎙️ episode: #WebAssembly from the Ground Up with @dubroy.com and @marianoguerra.org. Learn how they're teaching #Wasm by building a compiler in JavaScript and why writing Wasm by hand is crucial! 🍿 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRdD... 🎧 wasmassembly.libsyn.com/webassembly-...

Before the built-in AI APIs in Chrome can be used, the underlying AI model and any customizations must be downloaded 🌐, the data be extracted 🗜️, and be loaded into memory 🧠 . My guide documents best practices for improving the UX as they wait: developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/info... #WebAI #BuiltInAI

👋 Hi Bluesky! I've opened github.com/bluesky-soci... that adds built-in translation as a progressive enhancement on browsers that ship the Translator API developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/tran... (Chrome 138+). On other browsers, it falls back to the present behavior of linking to Google Translate.

We're excited to announce the release of version 0.0.10 of our TypeScript types for Built-in AI APIs, now featuring support for the brand-new Proofreader API! Check it out and upgrade today: www.npmjs.com/package/@typ... @tomayac.com #BuiltinAI #WebAI

In #WebAssembly spec news, #Wasm 3.0 is complete 🎉! Read all about it in Andreas Rossberg's article: webassembly.org/news/2025-09....

On the Chrome team, we've a cool new origin trial for you to try in your apps: the Proofreader API: developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/proo.... ❌ tyop → ✅ typo ```js await (await Proofreader.create({ expectedInputLanguages: ['en'], })).proofread( 'Let us knwo how it foes', ); ``` #BuiltInAI #WebAI

For anyone understanding 🇩🇪 German: we recently did a whole podcast episode with @tomayac.com on all these APIs (also talking about how Google and Microsoft back them with their individual own LLMs, Gemini / Phi): workingdraft.de/677/

Did some exploration around stress-testing the multimodal capabilities of the Prompt API and found out that apparently it's quite 🎨 color-sensitive: blog.tomayac.com/2025/09/16/p.... Not something super actionable, other than maybe a heads up to play with color-preprocessing.

For all that's holy, can you just leverage the Web, please? 🔗 blog.tomayac.com/2025/09/03/f... A blog post about our washing machine and registering it, so we get 10 years of warranty. Featuring call center hell, website hell, customer comms hell, and an actually useful #WebAI feature with demo.

I had the honor of being on the @workingdraft.de podcast again to chat about built-in AI APIs we're working on in Chrome. Give the episode a listen 🎧!

📢 New blog post: What a diff'rence a semicolon makes: blog.tomayac.com/2025/07/26/w.... Hat tip to André Jaenisch (not on Bluesky?) and @chriscoyier.net for pointing me at (André) and creating (Chris) the Web Development Merit Badges that I'm mentioning in the post.

📢 New article: Reliably downloading large AI models is a challenging task. By using the Background Fetch API as a progressive enhancement, you can improve the user experience of client-side AI significantly: web.dev/articles/bac.... Background Fetch is quite an old API, but useful today for #WebAI!

I recently was on Coffee with Developers ☕ hosted by @codepo8.bsky.social to talk about "Exploring the Future of Web AI with Google": www.wearedevelopers.com/en/videos/12.... Happy listening 🎧!

📢 Playing with AI inference in Firefox Web extensions: blog.tomayac.com/2025/02/07/p.... Firefox now has an experimental `browser.trial.ml` namespace with AI inference APIs for extensions 🧩 and shared models that can be used across origins. Pretty interesting!
