Chrome 的 Gemini Nano 模型佔用 4GB 本地儲存
google chrome 正在自動下載一個名為 weights.bin 的 4gb 檔案，以運行 gemini nano 功能，如詐騙檢測和寫作輔助。用戶報告稱，由於模型在本地運行以保護隱私，出現了無法解釋的儲存減少。在設置中關閉“端側 ai”可刪除該檔案並防止重新下載。
Users report that Google Chrome is silently consuming up to 4GB of local storage due to a weights.bin file required for the on-device Gemini Nano model. This local execution powers features such as scam detection and writing assistance but introduces significant storage overhead without clear notification during installation.
To reclaim space, users must toggle off the 'On-Device AI' option in Chrome's System settings; simply deleting the file results in a re-download. Google acknowledges that model size varies with updates but currently lacks a cloud-based alternative for these specific AI features.
