Tech giant Google (GOOGL) has introduced a new set of open-source AI models, called Gemma 4, that are designed to handle more advanced reasoning and agentic tasks. According to the company, these models are built to deliver strong performance while using fewer resources, which it describes as high “intelligence per parameter.” This release also builds on the strong momentum from earlier versions, as developers have already downloaded Gemma models more than 400 million times and created over 100,000 variations.

These include smaller models, such as E2B and E4B, as well as larger ones, like the 26B Mixture of Experts model and the 31B Dense model. The larger models are already ranking highly among open-source AI systems, with the 31B version currently ranked third globally and the 26B model ranked sixth on the Arena AI leaderboard. In addition, Google says that these models can handle complex reasoning tasks while remaining more efficient than much larger systems.
Importantly, one of the key advantages of Gemma 4 is its ability to run on a wide range of devices. For example, the larger models can run on high-end hardware such as Nvidia (NVDA) H100 GPUs, while the smaller versions are optimized for devices such as smartphones, Raspberry Pi systems, and edge hardware like the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano. Google also worked with partners like Qualcomm (QCOM) and MediaTek to improve performance on mobile devices.
