Gemma 2 vs. LLaMA

LLM Comparison


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).

LLaMA

LLaMA

Overview

LLaMA was previously Meta AI's most performant LLM available for researchers and noncommercial use cases. It has since been succeeded by Llama 2.


The model that launched a frenzy in open-source instruct-finetuned models, LLaMA is Meta AI's more parameter-efficient, open alternative to large commercial LLMs. Despite being smaller than many commercial models, LLaMA outperformed the gold standard GPT-3 on many benchmarks, with the primary drawback being that its access remains gated to researchers with restrictions on commercial use.
