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

**Julian Goldie** (0:00)
Gemma 4 12B from Google just dropped. This is their new, agentic, open source, free model that you can get access to right now. I've been building with it inside the agent operating system. It's created some pretty cool stuff, which I'll show you in a second. I'll show you exactly how it works. You can also plug it into your AI agents, which I'll come on to later. And this is a free model that's designed to be agentic. Now, if you're wondering how it performs, what are the benchmarks like, we'll come on to that in a second, but you can see it does pretty well. This is some of the stuff that we've built with it, as you can see right here. If you want to have a look, as I've been using it inside the agent operating system, basically plugged in Gemma 4 directly into Hermes Agent. And you can see some of the cool stuff that's built right here. For example, we created this amazing app where if I move my mouse, the animations follow it. You can see here we created this cool color palette designer. We actually built out a timer as well, which seems to work pretty nicely. One of the things I've always found with Gemma 4 previously is you try and build something with it, but it's not that useful or it's just not as smart as it previously was. But this is actually building useful real stuff that you can do this locally for free.
And this is with the brand new model. So it is a lot more powerful. It's a lot more agentic than anything else I've ever seen from the Gemma 4 models. Previously is another example. So this is a game that you built. I've shown you examples, apps, tools, games.
You can even build out websites with it. We've got, for example, this cool little wallpaper that we created with it. It's very visual as well. That's what I like about it as well. So everything we've created, it looks cool. It feels good. Let me show you this as an example right here. And if you want to get access to this, you can go to Ollama and Gemma 4 is waiting for you right here. And it's literally just been updated four hours ago. So this is a brand new update. This is the new version from Gemma. Gemma 4 12B is the new model that just dropped. So this is Gemma 4B by the way.
The thing I would say here as well is, if you don't have a setup that's as powerful as this, you can get Gemma 4 APIs for free and then plug those into your AI agents. So let me show you an example of that. If you go over here and we type in Gemma 4, you can see that we have some options. So you can get from OpenRouter and then you can just plug that into your Hermes agent. So even if you don't have an amazing local setup, it's okay. I'm going to walk you through exactly what it means, how it works, etc. in a second too. And you can see the benchmarks right here. So let's talk about Gemma 4 12B.
What it is, what it means, etc. So this is a lightweight model that's designed to be agentic, right? So you can run on a normal laptop, yet it reasons near the levels of models twice its size. Now everything below it built or wrote itself live through Hermes agent today. So the stuff that we've built down here, we created with Hermes agent and Gemma 4B. So it's a 12B model, 16 gigabytes memory to run it, K context window and it's open source and free. That means it's free, it's local, you can run it locally, you can run it, etc.
These are some examples of apps that we've built. Now the way that I did it is basically, you can just go into the agent operating system, change your model to Gemma 4, and then from there you can start channel with it. Then the cool thing about this is if you're using it inside an agent operating system, everything you've created, you can view and preview inside the workspace as well. So everything is saved. For example, when we were creating stuff with Minimax, we can see everything that we've created here and we can just preview and go back to projects we've previously created, which is super useful. Here's another example. So this is a game that we built out. Everything seems to run pretty smoothly as well. I also like the way that it can do this sort of art. Look at this. How cool is this? It's pretty crazy. Well, you can build with this.
