Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The "Prompt API" proposal by the Chrome built-in AI team suggests a JavaScript API that provides access to browser-provided language models. This will allow for local processing without server round-trips while also allowing web developers to use AI capabilities in web apps without worrying about costs. The proposal has a uniform interface for prompting models and handling failures gracefully.
