Google's AI meeting notetaker is no longer limited to Google Meets - Gemini can also generate summaries and transcripts of in-person meetings now, as well as meetings on Zoom and Microsoft Teams, as first reported by 9to5Google.
Support for in-person meetings was previously limited to alpha users and only available on Android. Google's support page for the feature notes that, "If a user who is not in person wants to join the meeting, you can transition the meeting to a normal video call." The feature also works for impromptu meetings - Google says you "don't need to be in a meeting room" or in a previously-scheduled meeting to use it.

In this tutorial, we explore NadirClaw as an intelligent routing layer that classifies prompts into simple and complex tiers before sending them to the most suitable model. We start by installing the required packages, setting up an optional Gemini API key, and testing the local classifier through the NadirClaw CLI without making any live LLM […]

Journalist Jamie Bartlett on the people trying to get AI to say things it shouldn’t … for the safety of us all
All the major AI chatbots – from ChatGPT to Gemini to Grok to Claude – have things they should and shouldn’t say.
Hate speech, criminal material, exploitation of vulnerable users – all of this is content that the most successful large language models in the world shouldn’t produce, that their safety features should guard against.

Chrome users were caught off guard by a 4-GB Google AI model baked into Chrome, sparking privacy concerns. The good news: You can easily uninstall it. The bad? You might not want to.
Google Chrome can automatically download a local AI model that takes up to 4 gigabytes of hard drive space on a computer when certain AI features are enabled, according to The Verge.
The file, called weights.bin, is used by Google’s Gemini Nano AI model to provide writing assistance, autocomplete, and fraud protection directly on the device. (Nano has been around since Gemini was introduced in late 2023.)
Since the model runs locally, the AI data is stored on the computer instead of in the cloud, which can provide better privacy, but also takes up storage space. Users can check whether the file is present by looking for the OptGuideOnDeviceModel folder in Chrome’s system files.
To free up the space, users need to disable the on-device feature in Chrome’s settings under Settings > System.
Microsoft's LinkedIn CEO, Ryan Roslansky, took on an expanded role at the company as head of Office last year, and he's now getting more responsibilities as part of the latest leadership reshuffle inside Microsoft. Sources tell me that the Microsoft Teams organization is moving to report to Roslansky, who will now lead a new Work Experiences Group at Microsoft.
The changes are part of a broader reshuffle triggered by Rajesh Jha, executive vice president of Microsoft's experiences and devices group, retiring from Microsoft after more than 35 years. Jha was responsible for the teams behind Windows, Office, Copilot, and Microsoft 365, and Micr …

Holy moly, I am flying around my phone this week.
It’s a wild feeling — especially since Google’s grand I/O gala, which is traditionally the time when shapeshifting new Android additions are supposed to command our attention, isn’t for another couple weeks yet.
These days, though, we’ve reached a point where many of the most interesting and non-AI-gobblydegook Android innovations aren’t even coming from Google itself but rather from third-party apps, add-ons, and crafty configuring (a fancy way of saying “good old-fashioned geeky tinkering”).
And that’s absolutely the case with this latest superpower I’ve just been granted. It’s an on-demand desktop-style taskbar that makes it delightfully swift ‘n’ simple to switch over to any other app on your favorite Android gadget without first having to head back to your home screen and then poke around to find it.
Instead, you just summon that taskbar — or even set it to be always visible, if you’d rather — and, exactly like on a desktop compute
