Google on Thursday announced Gemma 4, a new generation of open models designed for advanced reasoning and agentic workflows, describing it as its most intelligent open model family to date.

According to a post published on Google's official blog, Gemma 4 is built on the same research and technology foundation as Gemini 3 and is released under the Apache license 2.0.

Google said the new family is intended to make advanced artificial intelligence capabilities more widely accessible to developers.

Google said Gemma 4 is being released in four different sizes to support a range of hardware from Android devices and laptop GPUs to developer workstations and accelerators.

Gemma 4 is capable of multi-step planning and deep logic, and can be used for building autonomous agents that interact with tools and application programming interfaces, Google said, adding that the four Gemma 4 models also support code generation and can natively process images and video.

According to Google, the edge models feature a 128K context window, while the larger models support up to 256K context. The company also said Gemma 4 was natively trained on more than 140 languages.

Google said Gemma has been downloaded more than 400 million times since the launch of its first generation, and that the "Gemmaverse" community has created more than 100,000 variants.
