Google Assistant will be 10 times faster by the end of the year: Here are all the news announced
The Artificial Intelligence and speech recognition technologies of the new Google Assistant will work locally, with waiting times up to 10 times lower in some circumstances.
Several different size announcements were made during Google I/O. There has been a lot between the new Pixel 3a and 3a XL and the news of Android Q of fired meat, but something interesting has also moved among the smaller ads.
One of the most interesting innovations is that of the next-generation Google Assistant, which will be up to 10 times faster, offering a more complete and generally superior user experience.
The Google Assistant is now available on over a billion devices, especially smartphones, is available in 30 languages, in 80 countries and works with over 30 thousand connected devices for the home.
The Google system works by exploiting a series of data centers that support speech transcription and have models for the recognition of natural language and the next generation, Big G technicians have studied how to make more effective models by exploiting the evolution technology in terms of neural networks.
Google said it had developed completely new language recognition models, reducing the complexity of data from a weight of 100 GB to less than half a GB. With the new models the Artificial Intelligence at the base of the assistant can also work locally on the smartphone, and it can respond ” with zero latency ” and the transcription into text of the speech can appear on the smartphone in real time, even if there is no connection internet to support technology.
Working on the device, Assistant can understand and process requests immediately and without waiting for the user, especially for tasks that do not require Internet connectivity: create an appointment in the calendar, find and share a photo or dictate a message, they are all operations that will be carried out in much less time than today, especially when there is not really stable connectivity.
And, together with the Continued Conversation function, it will be possible to make several requests one after the other without necessarily having to pronounce the keyword ” Ok, Google ” every time.
The new generation of the Google Assistant will arrive on the Pixels by the end of the year and, afterwards, we should also see it on all Android smartphones updated to the latest versions of the operating system. The assistant has also gained a small rather interesting feature: it will be possible to say ” Stop ” to stop timers and alarm clocks, even in this case without having to first say ” Ok, Google “. The function is already available on Google Home speakers and Smart Displays in all English-speaking countries.
