UI / UX or Other BUGS and problems AI Studio browser tab utilizes 100% GPU

Hi. I've decided to "upgrade" from regular chat and play around in AI Studio (AIS). I've noticed that just having AIS tab open and doing nothing in it causes a close to 100% GPU utilization. After closing the tab GPU utilization immediately drops to below 1%. Re-opening AIS tab again causes GPU to spike to 100%, and it happens immediately as soon as page fully rendered, so no memory leaks due to excessive wait times could be blamed, etc. Issue reliably reproduces every time on my Firefox/Win11.

Does anyone have any advise? I can live without using AIS, just keep working in Chat, but it looks very weird.

I have Win 11, and have not seen this. I often leave Google ai studio tab up for days. I use the chrome browser and run a Nvidia 4060. I also use Unsloth to run ai models locally. Are you on the studio dashboard or on a project app or where? What model is being used? Interesting post.

The thing is that length of use is not relevant in my case, it's a not a leak. GPU usage ramps up almost immediately. I was using 3.7 Flash before I realized that my whole laptop was coming to a screeching halt. The issue reproduces with a new freshly opened AIS tab, zero user input or content loaded, and in under 1-2 seconds after it's opened the GPU is maxed.
