Gemma

Google counts Gemma, its open model family, among its frontier models. Tulsee Doshi, Head of Product for Gemini, lists Gemma as the open model family in a portfolio that goes well beyond Gemini. She counts every model in that portfolio as a frontier model.

The same portfolio includes gen media models for video and image editing and generation (Nano Banana) and music (Lyria), plus audio models for dialogue, audio understanding, text to speech and translation. She describes Google's strategy as owning hardware, models and billion-user products so it can build for every point on the cost to quality curve.
