Chrome’s AI features may be hogging 4GB of your computer storage

Google Chrome may be taking up to 4GB of computer storage due to a large AI model file called weights.bin, which is connected to Google's Gemini Nano AI model. This file is automatically downloaded when certain AI features are enabled, such as scam detection and writing assistance. The issue has been noticed by users who have seen unexplained drops in their available desktop device storage.
