can we make everything constant like C# does please Models.GeminiNano04 boom

  That would be like making a constant for every nuget package/version tuple: unworkable because new versions and packages come out all the time. Or making constants for every device manufacturer you can connect to via web Bluetooth.

  What’s the point in JavaScript? At the end of the day that’s still equivalent to Models[“GeminiNano04”] In C# you can’t compile a reference to Models.Potato04 unless Potato04 exists. In JS it’s perfectly legal to have code that references non-existant properties, so there’s no real developer ergonomics benefit here. On the contrary, code like `ai.createTextSession(“Potato:4”)` can throw an error like “Model Potato:4 doesn’t exist, try Potato:1”, whereas `ai.createTextSession(ai.Models.Potato04)` can only throw an error like “undefined is not a Model. Pass a string here”. Or you can make ai.Models a special object that throws when undefined properties are accessed, but then it’s annoying to write code that sniffs out which models are available.
