This week I've run some OCR benchmarks on Gemma models too. Did you use a higher image token budget? More than glad to chat about it

Great experiment! Main reason is search speed vs RAM: 2-bit quantization on all 768 dims shrinks storage 16x, but search compute/latency still scales with the number of dimensions (768). Matryoshka cuts the dimension count itself so search runs faster out of the box—and you can combine both!

📈 Google's EmbeddingGemma2 is looking to be a huge success! After only a week, it has surpasses EG1's likes to become the 4th most liked Google model ever, as well as the 3rd most liked Sentence Transformers model ever. Congratulations to the team for their work! Links in 🧵

🌱🧬 Really cool bio-AI setup from Living Models: pairing Gemma 4 E4B with BOTANIC-1 (plant DNA model) for climate-resilient crops. Gemma filters genomic data, ranking a target melon yield mutation #1 out of 2,494 in one afternoon 🍈🍉🌾 deepmind.google/models/gemma/gemmav…

Living Models pairs Gemma 4 with BOTANIC-1 to help decode plant DNA
By combining Gemma 4 with BOTANIC-1, a genetic language model (GLM) trained specifically on plant genomes, researchers could compress years of traditional crop genetics into hours of computation.

But wouldn't the people that blocked a promotion remember they blocked it? Or maybe I'm giving too much credit to the managers?

ooh, this looks awesome. I started on getting an embedding system setup before getting distracted, and I'm glad I did, cause I would've wanted to redo it all centered around this.

I don't think there is a plan for a re-ranker models as of now. for tutorials, we are building some more since people enjoyed the model so much

again, the power of the community always makes me happy. we launched EmbeddingGemma 2 last week, and people already built a local search system that is better than the integrated mac one!! www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA...

If you're building a startup on frontier APIs, adding open models like Gemma 4 alongside them is one of the easiest ways to cut inference costs, reduce latency, and keep sensitive data in-house. Great breakdown on combining frontier APIs + open weights on Google Cloud.

very interesting. but their benchamarks are with thinking off and qwen 3.8 is known to need thinking to get the best results so it is not an apples to apples comparison interesting direction anyway

This model is super cool, lot's of interesting aspect: - multimodal - small - dynamic loading of modalities - dimension scaling I'm very proud of that team!!

I disagree. there are other companies that can send stuff to space, or create AI models, or have a social network. and if you look into results that's why I say they aren't worth 100 USD, they don't have anything that justify that valuation

I'd love to do that but the people in charge of social don't want to "spread thin" and only focus on twitter I think it is a mistake but I still couldn't convince them. I didn't give up! but it is hard

Coming back to Ghost of Yotei after almost a year to play the DLC! I have a new feature request: "re-learn how to play" It would be like a fast tutorial that goes over all the moves you had already learned in the last time you played

Spending $850 vibe coding to-do list apps hoping to get rich is just one notch above spending the money on lottery tickets. While execution is now “free” due to vibe coding, it also means every software category will be hyper competitive. Your AI slop app is just more noise to users.

Today’s best coding agents rely on massive API models running in the cloud. What if every developer could rely on an autonomous agent equally capable offline, on consumer hardware? We’re challenging you to close the gap. The Gemma 4 Developer Agent Competition with @Kaggle is live!
