Google Gemma 4 Puts Offline AI on Phones, but New Reviews Say It Won’t Kill ChatGPT Yet
Google’s Gemma 4 model is drawing early attention for enabling offline AI on phones and laptops, with reviewers noting it works without an internet connection but lags behind cloud rivals in speed and memory. The 26B and 31B versions ranked among the top open models on Arena AI’s leaderboard. Google is integrating Gemma 4 into Android, with Gemini Nano 4-enabled devices expected later this year. Reviewers report the E2B model uses about 2.5 GB of storage.
