Gemma Cookbook is a collection of guides and examples for Google's Gemma open models.
The cookbook addresses the need for practical, tested examples when working with Gemma models and their variants. It organizes content into tutorials with the latest validated notebooks, full-stack application demos, research-focused experiments including specialized variants like TxGemma and MedGemma, responsible AI development guides, and core technical documentation. The repository serves as a reference implementation hub where developers can find working code patterns rather than building from scratch.
Developers should use this cookbook when learning Gemma or building applications with it. The tutorials section provides the most stable entry point for those new to the models, while the apps section suits developers building production systems. The experiments section targets researchers exploring model variants and specialized applications. The responsible AI section is relevant for teams prioritizing safety and ethical considerations in their implementations.
The project maintains a substantial user base, with almost all open issues coming from outside users rather than the core team. Response times to issues and pull requests typically range from one to two weeks. Work in the issue tracker centers on wishlist items, bug reports, and TxGemma-related tasks.
