jkubicki · x · 2026-08-22
A legal tech professional advised lawyers not to overlook open-source models, noting that many can be run on local machines. Citing Google's Gemma as an example, the model has crossed one billion downloads and features over 100,000 community variants. It runs everywhere from orbiting satellites to a health app in India with 100 million downloads. An official directory is now curating the "Gemmaverse." Despite a steep but short initial learning curve, the potential upside is significant.
