The Built-in Browser-based Babelfish

AI models are racing ahead on powerful servers, but the browser is quietly catching up. In this talk, Phil Nash, Developer Advocate at DataStax, shows how the web platform is becoming a powerful space for AI experimentation—no GPUs required.

You’ll learn how to build a browser-based, offline-capable speech-to-speech translator (yes, a babelfish!) using only web technologies. Phil breaks down how AI models can now run right inside the browser and what the future holds as these capabilities become even more native to the web.
