Earlier this month, Google lifted the lid on its latest and most powerful Gemma 4 AI models that you can run on your own hardware. Gemma competes on performance with other models like GLM5 and Qwen3.5, but its closed Gemini model remains the flagship to take on OpenAI and Anthropic. Still, the exciting news is that Gemma 4 has versions small enough to run on your smartphone.
Specifically, Gemma 4 E2B and E4B are distilled down to effective two- and four-billion-parameter footprints. At just 4.2GB and 5.9GB, these can more easily fit into phones with 12GB of RAM or more. These are also the foundations for Google’s next-generation Gemini Nano smartphone models — Gemini Nano 4 Fast and Nano 4 Full — scheduled to launch later this year.
