SAN FRANCISCO: Following Meta Platforms and others, Google on Wednesday unveiled new artificial intelligence (AI) models that third-party developers may be able to customize and brand as their own.
According to the Alphabet subsidiary, anyone may create AI software for free using its new Gemma family of “open models” for individuals and companies. The business asserted that it is providing important technical information to the public, including what are known as model weights.
The change would entice programmers to enhance Google’s technology and promote the company’s recently successful cloud business. According to the corporation, the models are “optimized” for Google Cloud, where new cloud users who use them will receive $300 in credits.
Although Google did not completely make Gemma “open source,” it is possible that the firm will continue to have some control over ownership and use restrictions. While some experts have argued that open-source AI is vulnerable to misuse, others have supported the strategy as a means of expanding the pool of potential users and contributors.
Unlike Gemma, Google avoided making its larger, premium variants, known as Gemini, available with the launch. According to the article, the Gemma models include two billion or deliberately seven billion parameters, which refers to the variety of values an algorithm considers before producing a result.
