Gemma 2 vs. Llama 2

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 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.
