Google DeepMind released its latest set of AI models, Gemma. Google Deepmind on Wednesday unveiled its newest set of AI models. Called Gemma, they are open for commercial use and redistribution by AI developers and researchers—a departure for a company that has been recently criticized for its closed AI technology by others in the field championing open collaboration in AI research.

Gemma’s debut as a more open type of AI model is something of an anomaly in Google’s recent AI strategy, which generally veers towards closed access. That has made it a polarizing player in the ongoing AI debate over open and closed research. On one side of the aisle are companies like Meta, Hugging Face and Mistral who advocate for open source access, in which companies publish a model’s source code and make it widely available in the name of scientific collaboration and progress.

Google said the Gemma model will be available for"responsible commercial usage and distribution for all organizations, regardless of size." Does this mean OpenAI could create a variant and publish it? When asked, Park said, “The same terms would apply.”
