Welcome Gemma - Google’s new open LLM

Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworksllm

What changed

An update to the Gemma models was released two months after this post, see the latest versions in this collection. Gemma, a new family of state-of-the-art open LLMs, was released today by Google! It's great to see Google reinforcing its commitment to open-source AI, and we’re excited to fully support the launch with comprehensive integration in Hugging Face.

Why it matters

A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
