The platform also revealed that it has now reached a new milestone with the Google Assistant, which now features new language analysis model and speech recognition that reduce space consumption in the cloud. While previous recognition software occupied close to 100 GB data, the newer models will also now use less than half a gigabyte in the cloud, according to the report.
The new Artificial Intelligence enabled models can now be run locally on the phones. This even provides the bandwidth to process speech on the smartphones to close to zero latency, with the real-time scenario transcription of audio, even without the help of an internet connection.

The next-generation Assistant is coming to new Pixel phones later this year,” said Manuel Bronstein, vice-president of product, Assistant.
