A real model executing on your machine with no network round-trip and no bill. For small tasks inside a page — summarise, rewrite, classify — this quietly removes an entire cost line.
Hardware-gated and the APIs keep changing. Treat it as a bonus path, not your only one.
| What you get free | Free — the model runs on your own device inside Chrome, no API key and no per-call cost |
| Where the limit sits | Requires a recent Chrome and capable hardware; APIs still moving |
