    I don't get that from the spec. Closest thing I could find in the Writing and Assistance APIs spec [1] (which the Prompt API refers to) says:

    > [It] allows the user agent to prompt the user for permission

    But that's talking more about initiating the 'download' process more than choosing the model.

    I think Chrome wants the browser to be 'opinionated' about the model used however, rather than letting the webpage pick, at least for now.
