Summary
Google’s DeepMind has released an open-source version of its AI model, Gemma 3 270M, which has been optimised to run efficiently on smartphones without an internet connection, and with minimal power consumption.
While smaller than many LLMs, the model has been designed to specialise in complex, domain-specific tasks and is capable of generating instructive-following bedtimes stories in a browser-based app.
The model can be accessed by developers under Google’s Gemma custom licence, which allows reproduction and modification, as long as restrictions on harmful content and privacy violations are observed.
Google hopes the model will provide a foundation for building cost-effective, fast, and privacy-focused AI solutions.
