Google DeepMind has unveiled Gemma 3n, a groundbreaking compact and highly efficient multimodal AI model designed for real-time, on-device use. This innovation addresses the rising demand for faster, smarter, and more private AI experiences directly on mobile devices such as phones, tablets, and laptops. By embedding intelligence locally, developers can unlock near-instant responsiveness, reduce memory demands, and enhance user privacy. Gemma 3n is optimized for Android and Chrome platforms, targeting performance across these mobile environments and serving as the foundation for the next version of Gemini Nano.
Gemma 3n leverages a novel Google DeepMind innovation called Per-Layer Embeddings (PLE), significantly reducing RAM usage. This technology allows the model to operate with a dynamic memory footprint of just 2GB and 3GB, even though its raw parameter count is 5B and 8B. This makes it possible to run larger models on mobile devices or live-stream from the cloud, with memory overhead comparable to smaller models. The model also incorporates advanced activation quantization and KVC sharing to improve on-device performance and efficiency, responding approximately 1.5x faster on mobile with significantly better quality compared to previous models.
In addition to Gemma 3n, Google is also experimenting with Gemini Diffusion, an innovative system that generates text using diffusion techniques rather than traditional word-by-word prediction. This approach, inspired by image generation, refines noise in multiple passes to create full sections of text. DeepMind says this leads to more consistent and logically connected output, making it particularly effective for tasks requiring precision, coherence, and iteration, such as code generation and text editing. Gemini Diffusion achieves speeds of up to 2,000 tokens per second on programming tasks, demonstrating its potential as a fast and competitive alternative to autoregressive models.

Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has announced it will resume using publicly available content from European users to train its artificial intelligence models. This decision comes after a pause last year following privacy concerns raised by activists. Meta plans to use public posts, comments, and interactions with Meta AI from adult users in the European Union to enhance its generative AI models. The company says this data is crucial for developing AI that understands the nuances of European languages, dialects, colloquialisms, humor, and local knowledge.
Meta emphasizes that it will not use private messages or data from users under 18 for AI training. To address privacy concerns, Meta will notify EU users through in-app and email notifications, providing them with a way to opt out of having their data used. These notifications will include a link to a form allowing users to object to the use of their data, and Meta has committed to honoring all previously and newly submitted objection forms. The company states its AI is designed to cater to diverse perspectives and to acknowledge the distinctive attributes of various European communities.
Meta claims its approach aligns with industry practices, noting that companies like Google and OpenAI have already utilized European user data for AI training. Meta defends its actions as necessary to develop AI services that are relevant and beneficial to European users. While Meta highlights that a panel of EU privacy regulators “affirmed” that its original approach met legal obligations. Groups like NOYB had previously complained and urged regulators to intervene, advocating for an opt-in system where users actively consent to the use of their data for AI training.
