Look I think its great that it runs in the browser and all, but I don't want to live in a world where its normal for a website to download 2.5Gb in the background to run something | ||

It's obviously not something you'd want to happen _passively_ when visiting a web page, but if the alternative is installing an executable / using a package manager / etc., why not? At least the browser is a more secure sandboxed environment for running untrusted code than most peoples' native OS. | ||

I recently dug into this as I was trying to benchmark the possibility of using Gemini Nano (Chrome's built in AI model) vs a server side solution for a sideproject. Nano's stored in localstorage with shared access across sites (because Google), so users only need to download it once. Which I don't think is the case with Mistral, etc. There's some other production stats around adoption, availability and performance that were interesting as well: https://sendcheckit.com/blog/ai-powered-subject-line-alterna... | ||

You have already gotten used to loading multiple megabytes of bytes just to display a static landing page. You'll get used to this as well... just give it some time :-D | ||
