Gemma-2-9b-it is a series of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models developed by Google, built upon the same research and technology as the Gemini model. These models are text-to-text decoder-only large language models, offered in English and suitable for a variety of text generation tasks, including question answering, summarization, and reasoning. Due to their relatively smaller size, they can be deployed in resource-limited environments such as laptops, desktops, or personal cloud infrastructure, making advanced AI models more accessible and fostering innovation.
