Gemma LLMs go local: Google brings AI Edge Gallery to Mac for offline modeling
Google releases AI Edge Gallery for Mac, letting users run Gemma 4 12B and other Gemma models locally offline with on‑device dictation via AI Edge Eloquent; the setup requires about 16GB of VRAM/unified memory, making most modern Macs eligible (except the MacBook Neo). Gemma is an open, portable family distinct from Google’s private Gemini models, and the app offers offline speed and privacy with a direct download from Google.
