Google Chrome's AI Features May Be Using 4GB of Local Storage
Google Chrome is automatically downloading a 4GB AI model file, weights.bin, to users' devices when certain AI features are enabled. This file is part of Google's Gemini Nano model used for local AI functions like scam detection and writing assistance. Users with limited storage may find this file problematic, as it is re-downloaded if AI features remain enabled.
