Google releases Gemma 2 open LLM family with efficiency-focused architecture

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google has released Gemma 2, an updated family of open large language models available in 9B and 27B parameter sizes. These models incorporate significant architectural changes, including a hybrid attention mechanism and Grouped-Query Attention (GQA), aimed at improving inference efficiency and reducing computational costs. Gemma 2 models are designed to run effectively on hardware like a single NVIDIA H100 GPU or Google TPU, making them more accessible for developers and researchers to fine-tune and deploy. AI

IMPACT Enhances efficiency for open LLMs, making them more competitive with larger proprietary models and lowering deployment costs.
