Chrome is adding `window.ai` – a Gemini Nano AI model right inside the browser

So they don't standardize things anymore?

Look at WebNN [1]. It's from Microsoft and is basically DirecttML but they at least pretend to make it a Web thing.

The posture matters. Apple tried to expose Metal through WebGPU [2] then silent-abandoned it. But they had the posture, and other vendors picked it up and made it real.

That won't happen to window.ai until they stop sleepwalking.

Don't have to when you they have achived a functionally total monopoloy

IE6 had that as well, until it didn’t.

The only reason IE lost its monopoly is because MS entirely abandoned working on it for years. They had to build a new team from scratch when they eventually decided to begin work on IE7.
