From what I remember, the measurements taken by the researchers were under rather controlled conditions with little other storage access to muddy the waters.

As for the 4 GB LLM Chrome now ships with: If those 4 GB create significant storage issues on your system you probably have other issues to worry about already. I'm not a huge fan of LLMs being crammed into everything but it shouldn't make much of a difference in this case.
