Today we’re introducing Gemma 4 12B — our latest open model that brings advanced agentic reasoning, vision and audio directly to your laptop.

It delivers performance nearing our larger Gemma models with a much smaller total memory footprint, while being small enough to run locally with just 16GB of VRAM. It’s open and accessible for everyone to use under a permissive Apache 2.0 license.

This is all made possible by our new, unified architecture that removes separate multimodal encoders. Here’s how we did it 🧵

@daveloodts @stripe The good news: Stripe is actively rolling out a fix right now to remove the lock across affected accounts. In the meantime, merchants can contact WooCommerce support with their Stripe Account ID and the team can manually override it.

@daveloodts @stripe This is a current known issue affecting WooCommerce Stripe Gateway users. Stripe applied a platform-level lock on Link from their end that's preventing merchants from disabling it through the plugin settings.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Introducing Composer 2.5, our most powerful model yet.

It's more intelligent, better at sustained work on long-running tasks, and more reliable at following complex instructions.

For the next week, we’re doubling the included usage of the model.
