This document details how to run Google's Gemma 4 models locally, including the E2B, E4B, 26B-A4B, and 31B variants. Gemma 4 is a family of open models supporting over 140 languages and up to 256K context, available in both dense and MoE configurations. The E2B and E4B models support image and audio input. These models can be run locally on your device and fine-tuned using Unsloth Studio. The document outlines hardware requirements, recommended settings, and best practices for prompting and multimodal use, including guidance on context length and thinking mode.
This article explains how to implement function calling with Google’s Gemma 3 27B model. It covers the concept of function calling, the step‑by‑step workflow, and provides a practical example using a Python `convert` function to turn $200,000 into EUR. The post walks through prompting Gemma, parsing its `tool_code` output, executing the function with `eval`, and returning a friendly final response. It also demonstrates how to set up the Google‑GenAI SDK, create a chat session, and extract tool calls. The discussion highlights Gemma’s multilingual, multimodal, and agentic capabilities, making it suitable for real‑world AI assistants that need to interact with external APIs and tools.
Microsoft's Phi-4-Reasoning-Vision-15B model challenges the trend of ever-larger AI models by demonstrating strong reasoning capabilities with a comparatively compact size. Trained on curated reasoning data, it aims to achieve performance without the massive compute costs associated with frontier models. The model supports multimodal tasks, combining text and image understanding, and offers flexible reasoning modes for different workloads. This research highlights the importance of data quality and training strategy, suggesting that smarter training techniques can be as impactful as simply increasing model size, particularly for AI agents and practical deployments.
This study introduces a domain-specific Large Vision-Language Model, Human-Scene Vision-Language Model (HumanVLM), designed to provide a foundation for human-scene Vision-Language tasks. They create a large-scale human-scene multimodal image-text dataset (HumanCaption-10M), develop a captioning approach for human-centered images, and train a HumanVLM.
LLMII uses a local LLM to label metadata and index images. It does not rely on a cloud service or database. A visual language model runs on your computer and is used to create captions and keywords for images in a directory tree. The generated information is then added to each image file's metadata.
This post explores how developers can leverage Gemini 2.5 to build sophisticated robotics applications, focusing on semantic scene understanding, spatial reasoning with code generation, and interactive robotics applications using the Live API. It also highlights safety measures and current applications by trusted testers.
