Mozilla opposes Google's Prompt API, which embeds the Gemini Nano language model into Chrome for local inference, arguing it creates vendor lock-in and undermines web interoperability by encouraging developers to standardize on Google's model. Google recommends 22 GB of storage space for the Nano model, though the v3Nano version is approximately 4.27 GB, and testing shows it fails on 15-24 percent of generative tasks. If widely adopted, the API could pressure competitors like Apple and Mozilla to license Google's model to maintain compatibility, and it requires acceptance of Google's content policies that extend beyond legal requirements.
