## The details
* According to Google, the new models are multimodal, making them well-suited for agentic workflows, reasoning, coding, and multimodal understanding.
* Gemma 4 comes in four sizes (2B, 4B, 26B, 31B parameters). In addition, the models has a 128K (2B and 4B) and 256K (26B and 31B) token context window and are trained on over 140 languages.
* According to Google, Gemma 4 outcompetes models 20x its size. So, developers can save computing resources without sacrificing performance.
* Gemma 4 is released under an open-source Apache 2.0 license. The new models are available on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/gemma-4){:target="_blank" rel="noopener"} and [Ollama](https://ollama.com/library/gemma4){:target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.

**Our thoughts**
From our perspective, the introduction of Gemma 4 marks a turning point for open-source models. It is one of the first open-source model that supports vision, tool calling, thinking, and audio in a single model.
Ideal for agentic workflows. Thanks to Gemma 4, you can now use a more powerful model in combination with OpenClaw - 24/7 with no API costs.
