This policy controls whether Microsoft Edge downloads the foundational GenAI model and uses it for local inference. If you enable this policy and set the value to Allowed (0), the model is downloaded automatically and used for inference. If you enable this policy and set the value to Disallowed (1), the model isn't downloaded, and the existing model (if already downloaded) is deleted. If you disable or don't configure this policy, the default applies, and the model is downloaded automatically and used for inference. Note: This policy supports dynamic refresh, so changes take effect without requiring a browser restart. Model downloading can also be disabled by ComponentUpdatesEnabled. Policy options mapping: * Allowed (0) = Downloads model automatically * Disallowed (1) = Do not download model Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.
