can't get gemini nano to run with page assist on chrome v130 on win11

[pleabargain]

on chrome v 130

I followed the instructions:
In order to use Chrome AI, you need a browser version greater than 127, which is currently in the Dev and Canary channels. After downloading the supported version, follow these steps:

Go to chrome://flags/#prompt-api-for-gemini-nano and select "Enable".
Go to chrome://flags/#optimization-guide-on-device-model and select "EnabledBypassPrefRequirement".
Go to chrome://components, search for "Optimization Guide On Device Model", and click "Check for Update". This will download the model. If you don't see the settings, repeat steps 1 and 2 and relaunch your browser.

I followed the steps. no joy

Here's a vid showing all steps

Hey, first of all, thanks for your sponsorship!

The Gemini Nano is not fully stable. Two weeks ago, it was working fine, but now it's showing an error. I’ll investigate what's happening. Thank you for the video.

I’ll let you know once it’s fixed. Thanks!

Sorry, guys. This issue may take longer to fix since Chrome changed the APIs. :/ I’ll let you know if there are any updates

[n4ze3m]

The issue has been fixed. Please let me know if it's working or not. :)

No joy.

Go to chrome://flags/#optimization-guide-on-device-model and select "EnabledBypassPrefRequirement".
Go to chrome://components, search for "Optimization Guide On Device Model", and click "Check for Update".

"Optimization Guide On Device Model" doesn't exist on my v. of chrome after reinstalling chrome: "Optimization Guide On Device Model"
Optimization Guide On Device Model is missing after doing steps 1 and 2 and restarting

If it helps; nano is working for me on canary: macos

I've found that gemini does NOT work on chrome dev though :/ only chrome canary.

How did you get it to work?

• I had already followed the steps to turn gemini on here

but after some time away from it I ran this in my chrome developer console (await ai.languageModel.capabilities()).available and it said "no" even though it used to be yes for sure.

so in chrome dev console I ran await ai.languageModel.create() to force it to renew itself, after a few minutes (maybe redownloading?). it started working again. I was using the Playground to verify that I even had gemini running as well. if its not working there, its probably broken everywhere
