Google releases smaller, powerful open-source AI models Gemma 2B and 7B

Google has released Gemma 2B and 7B, open-source AI models suitable for tasks like chatbots and summarizations. Despite their smaller size, Gemma models "surpass significantly larger models on key benchmarks" and can run directly on a developer's computer. They come with responsible AI toolkits and are available via Kaggle, Hugging Face, Nvidia’s NeMo, and Google’s Vertex AI. Gemma is free to use on Kaggle, and first-time Google Cloud users get $300 in credits.
