Gemma 2 vs. Llama 3.3

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 3.3

Llama 3.3

Overview

Llama 3.3 is Meta's end of 2024 Llama release, offering improved performance over Llama 3.2 with enhanced reasoning capabilities and better multilingual support.


Llama 3.3 represents Meta's continued advancement in open-source language models. Building upon the success of Llama 3.1 and 3.2, version 3.3 offers significant improvements in reasoning, coding, and multilingual tasks. The 70B parameter model provides performance competitive with much larger proprietary models while maintaining Meta's commitment to open-source accessibility for most commercial use cases.
