> How does the memory usage of your browser tabs relate to the amount of disk space taken up by the downloaded models?

I am talking about space in general. Data size. The relation of data stored in one place vs another is the fact they both store *data*. The components to store data can be cheaper or more expensive based on how it's architected. The fact I still see 4GB as an acceptable cost in ram exaggerates the point because it shows that I'm okay with 4GB being consumed in a relatively expensive component used for data storage (meaning I'd obviously be okay with it being stored on hard disk).

> if and when they decide to pick a model that isn’t half brain dead (apparently it’s based on Gemma 3)

Gemma 3 is far from brain dead and can be used for a variety of different tasks, translation being one I've personally used it for.
