We could inspect availability, create a session, monitor model acquisition, stream output, cancel a request and record what happened.</p> <p>Chrome also exposes narrower built-in AI capabilities. Instead of asking a general language-model session to perform an arbitrary task, an application can create a summarizer, writer, rewriter, proofreader, translator or language detector.</p>
