The company says that the latest models mark a significant step forward in making frontier-level artificial intelligence (AI) accessible to developers everywhere: from powerful data centre workstations to a smartphone in your pocket.<!-- --> Google claims that since it released the first generation of Gemma, developers have downloaded it more than 400 million times, spawning a community ecosystem of over 100,000 model variants built on top of Google\u2019s foundation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>Google CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/sundar-pichai\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Sundar Pichai<\/a> said that the models pack \u201cincredible amount of intelligence per parameter\u201d, while Google DeepMind chief executive called Gemma 4 as the \u201cbest open models in the world for their respective sizes.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>\u201cGemma 4 is here, and it\u2019s packing an incredible amount of intelligence per parameter,\u201d said Pichai, while sharing a post by Hassabis, who said: \u201cExcited to launch Gemma 4: the best open models in the world for their respective sizes.
