Initial release: 2023-03-03

Gemma 2

Gemma 2

Overview

Gemma 2 succeeds the Gemma family of lightweight open models from Google built using the same processes used for the the larger Gemini models.


Gemma 2 is the successor to the Gemma family of open models, including larer models (9B and 27B parameters) with outsized performance across benchmarks. Using a combination of techniques such as training on twice as much data, knowledge distillation, and architectural improvements such as sliding window attention, logit soft-capping, and model merging, Gemma 2 outperforms models of similar size (such as Llama 3), with the 27B parameter model being competitive with models more than twice its size (such as Llama 70B).
