Gemma 3n

Dear Readers,

Sometimes a technological leap occurs quietly, but it shifts our entire understanding of technology. Gemma 3n is one such case. While the world is fixated on the next cloud giants, Google is launching an AI that does not require the cloud – yet still thinks, hears, sees, and writes multimodally. With only 2 or 3 GB of RAM. On a cell phone. Offline.

What's happening here is more than an engineering masterpiece. It's a paradigm shift. The innovative MatFormer design and per-layer embeddings make it clear that we are facing a future in which server farms will no longer define the limits of what is possible, but rather the devices in our pockets. This is not only efficient – it's also a massive step toward privacy, control, and energy savings. In short: a democratization of AI computing power.

In Today’s Issue:

All the best,

Google has unveiled Gemma 3n, an amazing mobile multimodal model that processes audio, video, images, and text offline directly on the device, with only 2 GB RAM (E2B) or 3 GB (E4B).

This model is based on the innovative MatFormer architecture (“Matryoshka Transformer”), which allows multiple execution sizes to be combined in a network – for example, a 2B submodel in a 4B model. Using the “Mix-n-Match” developer interface, you can tailor models to your hardware and use cases.

The highlight: Per-layer embeddings decouple parts of the model into slower memory, so that only around 2B or 4B parameters need to be kept in fast VRAM. This makes Gemma 3n powerful enough to be used in everyday devices – ideal for applications that do not need the cloud, handle privacy sensitively, or need to work offline.

This model is exciting for the AI community because it enables local, private, and resource-efficient AI experiences—perfect for mobile and edge use cases. The developer hardware stack is enormous: tools such as HuggingFace, llama.cpp, Ollama, and MLX are directly integrated.

According to Goldman Sachs, AI can automatically generate around 95% of an IPO prospectus. Investment banks such as GS, JPM, and MS are using LLMs, which promise a 10–30% reduction in junior headcount, significant cost savings, and efficiency gains. However, human strengths such as relationship building and sector expertise remain critical. This disruptive wave of productivity demands new role profiles, regulation, and training strategies.

Meta is negotiating $3 billion in equity and $26 billion in debt from private credit firms, even though $21 billion would be available. The signal: Tech giants are circumventing the public bond market regime and relying on private capital flows. At the same time, the FT is discussing tokenized wholesale CBDCs – a sign of fundamental changes in internal payments, the international payment system, and monetary policy infrastructure.

Ondo Finance plans to make US securities globally accessible via tokenization – a potential game changer. This innovation reduces friction in cross-border capital flows, enables real-time stock trading around the clock, and shifts market power from centralized exchanges to decentralized platforms. A turning point for brokers, regulators, and investors – with implications for liquidity, price formation, and international monetary policy.
