Huh? I'm pretty sure I ran Gemma on my phone last month. Or is there a difference between downloadable (you get the weights because it's necessary to run the thing) and "open" weights?
- throwaway2087 1y agoWasn't it a preview version?
- lucb1e 1y agoOh, that could be. So this is the first on-device model that Google releases, that's the news?
- ColonelPhantom 1y agoI think the other poster is confused. Both Gemma 3 and Gemma 3n are open-weight models. Google's proprietary model line is called Gemini. There is a variant that can be ran offline called Gemini Nano, but I don't think it can be freely distributed and is only allowed as part of Android. As for what's new, Gemma 3n seems to have some optimizations done to it that lead it to be better than the 'small' Gemma 3 models (such as 4B) at similar speed or footprint.
