Gemma 4 punches above its weight, outperforming models 10x its size without the need for massive compute.
With 10M+ downloads in its first week and 500M+ for the Gemma family overall, we’re excited to see this level of engagement within the open research community.
Just released fuoricode: a tiny zero-dependency C tool that packs your entire codebase into a single Markdown file. Perfect for dropping context into an LLM. #opensource#devtools https://t.co/xHZWBJ0kqN
Ora è diventato praticamente impossibile rigiocarci, salvo un futuro miracolo da parte di ResidualVM o di qualche progetto complementare (e.g. G-Engine).

Culture influences institutions, and institutions reinforce or reshape culture, but the two are not the same. You can change an institution with the stroke of a pen; changing culture requires changing minds.
Adopting some of the latest coding tools puts us in a kind of Turing run-around-the-house (very serious) game for programming--where we can instruct an agent to handle (a very proficiently instructed portion of) our coding chores while we stay fit.
