Gemini Nano local prototyping

[derenrich]

I'm considering building an extension with this API but it seems that the model (Gemini Nano) isn't actually usable via typical LLM interfaces (e.g. aistudio / ollama / hf). I believe Gemini Nano is not the same as Gemma and the paper says there are actually two different version of Nano.

Is there an open source model you would suggest using locally during development that might have similar performance?

Being able to use the model in a normal dev environment is important for prototyping/testing.

This appears to be a bug report against a specific implementation of this API (probably Chrome's), and not against the specification. As such, it should be reported against that implementation's bug tracker. For Chrome, that's https://crbug.new/.
