Overview

Gemma 2 is Google's open model available as a cloud-hosted endpoint through Ollama Cloud's free tier with OpenAI-compatible API. The 8K context is short by current standards — best for quick Q&A, simple chat, and classification rather than long-document tasks. Ollama Cloud's free tier is community-supported with no guaranteed rate limits.
