Gemma, Kernels, and the Week in Review

Welcome to Amaze Networks for Friday, April third. It's the end of a genuinely packed week, and we've got a good show to close it out — open-source AI just got a serious upgrade, Meta built a robot that writes its own GPU code, and we're going to do the full Week in Review.

Yeah, and honestly, the week's through-line only got clearer as it went. We've been talking all week about agentic AI getting real infrastructure plumbing, and today we have two stories that punctuate that perfectly.

Let's start with something that dropped Wednesday but wasn't available for Tuesday's show, and it just crystallized today. Google released Gemma four — four models, Apache two-point-zero license, natively multimodal at every size. This is not a minor update.
