macOS 27 copiaría una de las mejores funciones de Chrome para Safari https://www.enter.co/chips-bits/apps-software/macos-27-copiaria-una-de-las-mejores-funciones-de-chrome-para-safari/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #AppsSoftware #Apple #GoogleChrome

La enésima jugarreta de la IA que nos intentan colar las grandes tecnológicas hasta en el desayuno es esta instalación automática del modelo Gemini Nano. Si tienes Google Chrome es probable que te hayan okupado en tu disco duro la friolera de hasta 4 gigas en unos tiempos en los que el precio del almacenamiento está por las nubes.

Habría sido muy fácil anunciarlo convenientemente, vender todas sus bondades (control anti phishing y mejoras en la privacidad con redacción mediante LLM) y avisar con letra pequeñita sobre sus inconvenientes (almacenamiento y sobreesfuerzo del dispositivo), pero Google decidió optar por el camino de la mierdificación forzosa.

Es probable que ya tengamos Gemini Nano en nuestro equipo si usamos el líder en el mercado de los navegadores, así que solamente nos queda reaccionar y desactivarlo para luego borrar el archivo:

1. Acceder desde a chrome://flags desde el navegador
2. Buscar y desactivar optimization-guide-on-device-model
3. Buscar y desactivar prompt-api-for-gemini-nano
4. Abrir en el navegador de archivos %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\ y eliminar la carpeta OptGuideOnDeviceModel

Ars Technica: Chrome’s 4GB AI model isn’t new, but you’re not wrong for being confused. “Some desktop Chrome users have also noted that the browser appears to suddenly want more storage space for AI. This is true—Chrome does download a 4GB AI model for on-device processing. It’s been doing that for years, though. Google hasn’t actually changed anything about Chrome’s on-device AI, […]
