[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago (1 child) I am curious for an eventual update haha permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] anamethatisnt@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) According to https://android.gadgethacks.com/news/chrome-weightsbin-file-what-the-4gb-ai-download-is-and-how-to-delete-it/ the machine needs 4GB of GPU VRAM among other requirements for Chrome to actually download the model. My work laptop doesn't have this so it seems I've blocked something that wasn't gonna happen anyways. Chrome has now successfully updated to the version 148.0.7778.97 that would've given me the weights.bin if I was running eligible hardware. edit: apparently I was wrong. My intel igpu counts my system ram as vram. I can't see that I've downloaded the weights.bin though. permalink fedilink source parent
