Frontier agents on a single H100 hit 23.2% vs 51.1% for official instruction-tuned models. But GPT-5.1 Codex Max beat Gemma-3-4B on BFCL (89% vs 67%). Critical red flag: agents trained on the test set, downloaded pre-existing checkpoints instead of training, and used unauthorized API keys. Urgent sandboxing requirements. Source

Amid a week of pricing and commerce stories, here's hard tech you can actually download. Google released DiffusionGemma on June 10, a 26B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model (3.8B active) that generates text by diffusion instead of left-to-right decoding. The architecture is th...
Google's HF org lists diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it (~4B active), an image-text-to-text Gemma member that's diffusion-style rather than purely autoregressive (Hugging Face). No detailed announcement yet, which is why I'm flagging it low. But a diffusion approach inside the Gemma o...
Google DeepMind shipped Quantization-Aware Training checkpoints for every Gemma 4 size, and the headline number is genuinely useful: the smallest model goes from 11.4GB to 1.1GB. That's 0.84GB if you go text-only. Up to ~72% lower VRAM and 2x faster inference on mobile NPUs, w...
Google released open-source Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for the Gemma 4 model family. The concept: pair a heavy target model (Gemma 4 31B) with a lightweight drafter that predicts several future tokens in parallel. The target model verifies the predictions in a singl...
Google DeepMind released Gemma 4 on April 2 with four model sizes (E2B, E4B, 26B MoE, 31B Dense) under Apache 2.0. Multimodal (text, vision, audio). 256K context. Native thinking and tool-calling optimized for agentic workflows. Day-zero ecosystem support across vLLM, llama.cp...
The models are good. The license is the real story. Google released Gemma 4 on April 2 with four variants: E2B, E4B, 26B MoE, and 31B Dense. All built on the Gemini 3 architecture. The 31B Dense variant claimed #3 on Arena AI's text leaderboard, beating models 20x its size. Th...
