Gemma vs. Llama 2

LLM Comparison


Gemma

Gemma

Overview

Gemma is a family of lightweight open models from Google built using the same processes used for the the larger Gemini models.


Gemma was first released as a family of open models from Google -- 2B and 7B-parameter models, as of February 2024 -- intended for developers and compute-constrained devices. Despite their size, Gemma models compare favorably to other models of the same size such as the Mistral 7B model.


Initial release: 2024-02-21

Llama 2

Llama 2

Overview

Llama 2 is Meta AI's open source LLM available for both research and commercial use cases (assuming you're not one of the top consumer companies in the world).


The successor to LLaMA (henceforce "Llama 1"), Llama 2 was trained on 40% more data, has double the context length, and was tuned on a large dataset of human preferences (over 1 million such annotations) to ensure helpfulness and safety. It outperforms other open source models on both natural language understanding datasets as well as in head-to-head face-offs.
