Google Home receives three new features: voice control for multimedia content and improved weather forecasts. Rollout underway following recent updates.
A developer benchmarked Google's new on-device dictation app Eloquent with proprietary models. Result: ~50% of dictations return incomplete (20+ words reduced to 5-10). When transcription completes (15/50 tests), accuracy is competitive (~24% WER vs ~21% for Qwen3-ASR), but the chat-style model often refuses to transcribe instead of producing text.
DeepMind releases DiffusionGemma, a 26B MoE model (3.8B active) under Apache 2.0. Instead of sequential token generation, it uses diffusion to refine 256 tokens simultaneously. Achieves 1000+ tokens/s on H100, 700+ on RTX 5090. Native integration with vLLM, Unsloth, HF Transformers.
Google DeepMind introduces DiffusionGemma, a text generation model 4x faster than standard autoregressive approaches. The technique uses diffusion to parallelize generation and reduce latency.
