Google Gemma 4: Everything Developers Need to Know
Google dropped Gemma 4 on April 2, 2026, A full generational jump in what open models can do at their parameter range and the first time in the Gemma family's history that one ships under Apache 2.0, meaning commercial use without permission-seeking. Some context: since Gemma's first generation, developers have downloaded the models over 400 million times and built more than 100,000 variants. Four Models, One Family Gemma 4 is a family of four, each aimed at a different point in the hardware spectrum. E2B : Effective 2 billion active parameters. Runs on smartphones, Raspberry Pi, Jetson Orin Nano. 128K context window. Handles images, video, and audio. Built for battery and memory efficiency. E4B : Effective 4 billion active parameters. Same hardware targets, higher reasoning quality. About
Gemma 4 is efficient with thinking tokens, but it will also happily reason for 10+ minutes if you prompt it to do so.
Tested both 26b and 31b in AI Studio. The task I asked of it was to crack a cypher. The top closed source models can crack this cypher at max thinking parameters, and Kimi 2.5 Thinking and Deepseek 3.2 are the only open source models to crack the cypher without tool use. (Of course, with the closed models you can't rule out 'secret' tool use on the backend.) When I first asked these models to crack the cypher, they thought for a short amount of time and then both hallucinated false 'translations' of the cypher. I added this to my prompt: Spare no effort to solve this, the stakes are high. Increase your thinking length to maximum in order to solve it. Double check and verify your results to rule out hallucination of an incorrect response. I did not expect dramatic results (we all laugh at p
