New Google Gemma 4 Update is Insane (FREE!) 🤯

Gemma 4 12B Just Dropped: Free Agentic Open-Source Model You Can Run Locally

Google has released Gemma 4 12B, a new free, open-source, agentic model you can access now and run locally, and the creator demonstrates building real apps inside an agent operating system by plugging Gemma 4 into Hermes Agent. Examples shown include a mouse-follow animation app, a color palette designer, a Pomodoro timer, generative art, a simple game, a website, and a wallpaper, emphasizing improved usefulness versus earlier Gemma versions. The script explains how to get Gemma 4 via Ollama (recently updated), or use free Gemma 4 API options like a 26B model via OpenRouter if you lack powerful hardware, and highlights core specs such as 16GB memory and a 256K context window along with benchmark claims around 77% reasoning and ~72% coding.
