Chrome 138 introduces experimental on-device AI APIs for summarization, language detection, and translation using Google's Gemini Nano model. These APIs run locally without cloud dependencies, requiring desktop platforms with 22GB free disk space and 4GB VRAM. Developers can access summarization with customizable types, automatic language detection, and real-time translation capabilities through simple JavaScript APIs, though the features remain experimental and hardware-dependent.
