Google's family of open-weights models — "little siblings" of Gemini sharing the same research lineage but with trade-offs that allow public release.
Launched 2024; Gemma 2 (2B/9B/27B) and Gemma 3 (1B/4B/12B/27B, multimodal with vision and 128k context). Trained with knowledge distillation from larger Gemini models — punches above its weight against Llama 3 on many benchmarks.
Custom licence (not Apache 2.0) with use restrictions, but commercial use is allowed. Supported by Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, Transformers. Strong in the "small-but-capable" segment for on-device.
