Gemma 4 was launched by Google under an Apache 2.0 license, marking a significant open-model release focused on reasoning, agentic workflows, multimodality, and on-device use. It outperforms models 10x larger and has immediate ecosystem support including vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, Intel hardware, Unsloth, and Hugging Face Inference Endpoints. Local inference benchmarks showed strong performance on consumer hardware, including RTX 4090 and Mac mini M4. Early benchmarking praised its efficiency and ranking improvements over previous versions. Meanwhile, Hermes Agent emerged as a popular open-source agent harness, noted for stability and capability on long tasks, with users switching from OpenClaw to Hermes.
