Alphabet, the parent company of Google, undertook a significant corporate restructure in 2015, establishing itself as a holding company with diverse interests spanning technology, life sciences, capital investment, and research. Among its subsidiaries are Google, Calico, GV, Google Capital, and Google Fiber. Google focuses on internet search, cloud computing, and advertising technology, offering a vast array of internet-based products and services.

Recently, Google launched an application that enables users to locally download and run AI models on their devices. The Google AI Edge Gallery application is now available on the Android platform, with an iOS release anticipated soon. This app allows users to access, download, and operate compatible models for image generation, question answering, code writing, and editing, all offline without internet dependency. This development comes as users increasingly seek privacy, avoiding sending sensitive data to remote data centers or utilizing models without Wi-Fi in remote areas.

These moves indicate Google's active role in improving its AI capabilities and user-environment interactivity, which showcases its ambition to maintain leadership within the tech industry.
