Went over the cliff. Straight to the ambulance down there.

I guess the LLM provider stopped working after the defacement articles.

You mean by embedding? How can an external site fail on squarespace and wix website builders?

Nothing an LLM can’t fix.

Right?

Mind all the funny, creative articles. A few suffice to ruin it for all.

The problem here is that the on-device model is old news packed as clickbait without any research beyond his file system. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48034889 And all news outlets spreading it w/o any further research of their own.

Policy GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings disables and removes the local model without any flag hacks since 2024. In Canary since January behind Settings > System > On-device AI

The article doesn't mention Chrome version, release channel, whether on fresh vs existing install an if settings were altered.

For completeness: The single policy setting name to disable model download is GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/gen-ai-local-founda...

The current state can be viewed at the internal debug URL chrome://on-device-internals/

Since January there's a user facing toggle in Settings > System > On-device AI in Chrome Canary https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/artificial-intelligenc..., described in Chrome Help Center at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/16961953https://sup...

Pure, unadulterated, poorly researched and factually incorrect clickbait.

Question from last November, even referring to macOS, by @paulirish: https://superuser.com/q/1930445/can-i-delete-the-chromes-opt...

With policy setting, debug url, docs in the answers.

One search away.
