Google Announces Gemma 2 Open-Source Model; Launching in June
May. 15, 2024Google says that developers and researchers have been asking for a larger open model that is easy to run and use. So Gemma 2 is a culmination of that effort. Google further says that the Gemma 2 27B model will outperform “some models that are more than twice its size“.
In addition, the company says, Gemma 2 will be lightweight enough to run efficiently on GPUs or a single TPU hosted in Vertex AI. So far, Meta has been leading the AI race in the open-source space with its Llama 3 models. We have seenLlama 3 8B and 70Bperforming remarkably well despite their small sizes.
Now, we will have to wait and see how well the upcoming Gemma 2 model performs. There are plenty of open-source models from Mistral, Meta, Microsoft, and other AI companies competing in this space. Let us know if you are excited about the Gemma 2 open-source model in the comments below.
