Understanding hybrid inference: the role of Firebase AI Logic
Blog post from Firebase
Firebase AI Logic offers hybrid inference for web applications, enabling AI features to use Gemini Nano on Chrome desktop when available and cloud-hosted models when needed. The preview capability supports modes that prioritize either on-device or cloud processing, allowing developers to balance offline availability, speed, cost, and model capability. Example applications include private text summarization that prefers local processing, offline image captioning using multimodal prompts, and real-time translation that routes short phrases to an on-device model while sending longer or more complex text to a cloud model such as Gemini 2.5 Flash. Firebase presents hybrid inference as a way to build resilient AI experiences for users regardless of connectivity and encourages developers to explore its documentation and participate in the Google Chrome Built-in AI Challenge 2025.
