- R · What Makes It Special
- Google DeepMind's Gemma 2, the second generation of its lightweight open-weights models built from Gemini research: 9B and 27B text models released June 27, 2024 and a 2B added on July 31, on a redesigned architecture with alternating local and global attention, an 8,192-token context and knowledge distillation for the smaller sizes; Google said the 27B rivals models more than twice its size, and its report says Gemma 2 set a new state of the art for open models on the LMSYS Chatbot Arena.
