@austinvhuang @laurentsifre @armandjoulin @triswarkentin @JeffDean Thanks, Austin! Your work on Gemma.cpp for Gemma 1 was so great, that we designed a Gemma.cpp-friendly MoE in the latest release.

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Gemma 4 outperforms models over 10x their size! (note the x-axis is log scale!)

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells. 

With more preclinical and clinical tests, this discovery may reveal a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer.

Thanks Jeff Lawson for buying the Onion so we could get this great zoom in on electoral coverage. No other news source has gone to this level of detail.

[Armand Joulin @armandjoulin]

A great set of models have entered the arena!
Sadly Gemma2 9B dropped from one of their tables so I had to add it. Would be even better if all models were evaluated with same codebase as I see fluctuations in numbers.

[Tris Warkentin @triswarkentin]

Gemma 2 just got even better! 🚀 New Japanese-tuned 2B model AND a $150K Kaggle competition to build Gemma models for every language. Great to have @sundarpichai here to share the excitement!

We also collect more votes for Gemma-2-27B (now 5K+) for the past few days. Gemma-2 stays robust against Llama-3-70B, now the new best open model!

[Alek Andreev @alek]

The whole Gemma team is irreplaceable, but I want to particularly thank the pretraining team - @pathak__shreya, @moruganribieru , Cassidy Hardin, @Mesnard_Thomas. 🙏 to @armandjoulin, who always knows when to say no.

Gemma 2 is out and it’s crazy to think we can fit the best open LLM in the world on an old 32GB USB stick. 🧵

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Gemma 2 is available to researchers & developers. At 27B it delivers best-in-class performance for its size and is competitive even to models over twice its size! Proud to continue our tradition of thoughtfully bringing cutting-edge research to the open models ecosystem.

[Alek Andreev @alek]

Gemma 2B (shipping very soon), will be the most capable on-device model. This is a new space and it's very exciting what app developers can do with local, private LLMs.

[Alek Andreev @alek]

Announcing RecurrentGemma, which removes the quadratic compute complexity of transformers!

[Soham De @sohamde_]

Releasing RecurrentGemma - one of the strongest 2B-param open models designed for fast inference on long sequences and massive throughput!

Both pre-trained and IT checkpoints available + code - try them out here!

I am very happy to announce that Gemma 1.1 Instruct 2B and “7B” are out! Here are a few details about the new models:
1/11

[Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav @reach_vb]

UPDATE: Gemma 1.1 7B & 2B - Instruction Tuned! ✨

> substantial gains in quality, coding capabilities, factuality, and instruction following.
> better multi-turn conversation quality.

[Alek Andreev @alek]

It's a joyful journey working with the brilliant, tight-knit Gemma team! There is a bright future for open models!

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Introducing Gemma - a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models for their class built from the same research & tech used to create the Gemini models. 

Demonstrating strong performance across benchmarks for language understanding and reasoning, Gemma is available worldwide starting today in two sizes (2B and 7B), supports a wide range of tools and systems, and runs on a developer laptop, workstation or @GoogleCloud.

Excited to see what you’ll create →  https://t.co/gQl3TBEYxS https://t.co/XY9YGFOEb2

The few people who didn't leave Irpin were mostly those too old and to frail to walk.

For them, the last month has been hell. Death, illness and frayed nerves, a few miles from Kyiv.

I found it difficult to listen to these stories & keep it together.

Russia's brutal siege of Ukraine's port city of Mariupol has left residents without electricity, water, or heat for nearly 3 weeks.
