Definition
Gemma models are designed to be efficient and accessible for researchers and developers. They come in various sizes, including 2B and 7B parameter versions, allowing for deployment on diverse hardware. The models leverage the advanced techniques used in the larger Gemini series but are optimized for lower computational costs. This makes them suitable for tasks like text generation, coding assistance, and general reasoning while maintaining high performance relative to their size.
Summary
Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models built by Google DeepMind, based on Gemini research and technology.
