What do you mean by hybrids

GEMMA 4 T5

Hi @JohnGenetica

Could you clarify what you mean by 'hybrids'? Are you referring to models like T5 Gemma 2? It’s important to note the architectural differences: Gemma 4 is a next-generation decoder-only model, whereas T5 Gemma 2 utilizes an encoder-decoder framework.
Thanks

The question is whether there are plans to manufacture derivatives such as the T5Gemma-3, based on the Gemma-4, just as there is the T5Gemma-2 based on the Gemma-3.

Any answers?

Perhaps what they mean is, "The plan itself is underway internally, but it hasn't been decided yet whether it will be released under the 'Gemma' series."It would be difficult for them to give a firm guarantee here.
@pannaga10 , regardless of whether or not it will actually be released, is it technically feasible?
