Google launches Gemma: new open source AI tool for developers

Google launched another AI model only a week after it announced the release of its Gemini models. The new release, Gemma, is part of a family of “lightweight open-source models,” starting with Gemma 2B and Gemma 7B. The large language models are said to be “inspired by Gemini,” and are designed to be used by researchers and developers to innovate safely with AI. 

In a new report, researchers at Gemma and Google’s DeepMind wrote: “We believe the responsible release of LLMs is critical for improving the safety of frontier models and enabling the next wave of LLM innovations.”

Introducing Gemma: a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models for developers and researchers to build with AI.
