Google announces Gemma 4 open AI models, switches to Apache 2.0 license
I do not really like to take X posts as a source, but it's Jeff Dean, maybe there will be more surprises other than what we just got. Thanks, Google! Edit: Seems like Jeff deleted the mention of 124B. Maybe it's because it exceeded Gemini 3 Flash-Lite on benchmark?

Anthropic Says That Claude Contains Its Own Kind of Emotions
and what does this even mean? "internal representations of emotion concepts driving claude behaviour" I get it that they don’t feel emotions and they simulate patterns of emotion, but the scary part is humans respond to the simulation the same way "panic"

'Backrooms' and the Rise of the Institutional Gothic
One of the best sensible reasons that I can think of to have an llm downloaded on my cell phone would be emergency advice.
It seems like every conversation about derestricted models everyone treat you like a pervert. The fact is you can be sensible and be a pervert 😂.

Gemma 4 E4B + E2B Uncensored (Aggressive) — GGUF + K_P Quants (Multimodal: Vision, Video, Audio)
My first Gemma 4 uncensors are out. Two models dropping today, the E4B (4B) and E2B (2B). Both Aggressive variants, both fully multimodal. Aggressive means no refusals. I don't do any personality changes or alterations. The ORIGINAL Google release, just uncensored. **Gemma 4 E4B (4B):** [https://h
Gemma-4-E2B-IT seems to be as good or better than Qwen3.5-4B while having massively shorter reasoning times on average
New laws to make it easier to cancel subscriptions and get refunds
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
Gemma 4 running on Raspberry Pi5
To be specific: RP5 8GB with SSD (but the speed is the same on the non-ssd one), running [Potato OS](https://github.com/slomin/potato-os) with latest llama.cpp branch compiled. This is Gemma 4 e2b, the Unsloth variety.
My first impression after testing Gemma 4 against Qwen 3.5
​ I have been doing some early comparisons between Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5, including a frontend generation task and a broader look at the benchmark picture. My overall impression is that Gemma 4 is good. It feels clearly improved and the frontend results were actually solid. The model can
