Software Sovereignty: How Gemma 4's Architecture Is Quietly Rewriting the Rules of Local AI
Gemma 4 is redefining local AI with its innovative architecture designed for resource-constrained environments. It emphasizes the principle of Software Sovereignty, allowing software to operate independently of cloud services.

- ▪Gemma 4 is released under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing for commercial use without legal restrictions.
