And just in case you’re wondering, "..What’s an open model?", we’ve got you covered: Basically, open models are AI systems where the model weights are publicly available for anyone to download, study, fine-tune and use on your own hardware (phones, computers, etc.). Open models can live on your hardware where your data is completely private and never has to leave your machine. Once you download an open model onto your device, it can run anywhere regardless of internet connection or access to data centers. To name a few examples, Gemma models can run in your pocket, underwater, in outer space, from subway tunnels, and on high-altitude flights without needing a cell tower or WiFi signal. As base models are released (the 'blueprints'), people can then further modify them for specialized use cases via fine-tuning. We’ve seen this in the Gemmaverse, where developers have downloaded Gemma over 400 million times and built more than 100,000 variants. Have you used an open model before? Let us know if you have any other questions about this neat technology!
