Google's Chrome browser has a Gemini Nano AI model running on your computer.
Chrome for desktop now auto-downloads Gemini Nano AI, occupying about 4 GB of disk space.
KEY POINTS
- The On-device AI toggle to disable and remove Gemini Nano was only introduced in February 2024.
- If you delete the Gemini Nano file directly, Chrome will silently redownload it upon reboot.
- Disabling On-device AI deactivates certain Chrome security features and impacts some third-party site functionalities.
- Gemini Nano is separate from Chrome's AI Mode and enables on-device scam detection and developer APIs.
