Why this model scores 37.6
Low intrinsic capability and autonomy are offset by near-frictionless local deployment and unrestricted replication across consumer and edge hardware.
News tied to Gemma 2 2B Base
The model score of 37.6 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 66.8 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.
Each article's current Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores use a bounded temporal offset around their technical profile, but never feed back into the overall index.
Google releases Gemma Scope interpretability suite
Google DeepMind released more than 400 open sparse autoencoders covering every layer of Gemma 2 2B and 9B, alongside interactive tools and open ShieldGemma safety classifiers for model inputs and outputs.
