Google Gemma 4: Frontier AI, Now Open & Local

Google released Gemma 4—four open-source models built on Gemini 3 research. Run frontier-grade AI locally.

Key metrics:
• 89.2% on AIME 2026 math (vs 20.8% for Gemma 3)
• 86.4% on agentic tool use (vs 6.6% for Gemma 3)
• E2B/E4B run on phones, Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano—zero latency
• 256K context window, 140 languages
• Free weights: Hugging Face, Ollama, Kaggle, Docker

How it happened: Built on Gemini 3 research, optimized for consumer GPUs and edge devices, benchmarked against Claude/Qwen/Kimi, released all weights freely, integrated with JAX/Keras/Vertex AI.

Takeaway: Founders can build AI products without API costs, vendor lock-in, or latency concerns. Local inference = faster iteration, privacy by default, control.
