Google claims the 27B model outperforms models more than twice its size thanks to a new architecture. The post shows how to pull and run each size with a single command and how to integrate the model with LangChain and LlamaIndex. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I run Google Gemma 2 locally with Ollama? Use the command 'ollama run gemma2' to run the default 9B parameter version. For the smaller 2B model, run 'ollama run gemma2:2b', and for the larger 27B model, run 'ollama run gemma2:27b'. All three sizes are available through Ollama's model library. _daily.dev surfaces practical guides for developers experimenting with local LLM setups like this one._ ### What sizes does Google Gemma 2 come in? Gemma 2 is released in three parameter sizes: 2B, 9B, and 27B. The 27B version features a new architecture and reportedly delivers performance surpassing models more than twice its size in benchmarks, positioning it as a leading open model at that scale. _Comparing open model sizes and benchmarks is easier when developers track releases like Gemma 2 on daily.dev._ ### How do I use Gemma 2 with LangChain or LlamaIndex? In LangChain, import Ollama from langchain_community.llms, instantiate it with model="gemma2", then call llm.invoke() with a prompt. In LlamaIndex, import Ollama from llama_index.llms.ollama, instantiate the same way, and call llm.complete() with a prompt. Both integrations route requests through the locally running Ollama model. _daily.dev helps developers stay current on integrating new open models into their LLM tooling stack._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Google's free Gemma 4 model runs on hardware you probably already own](https://daily.dev/posts/google-s-free-gemma-4-model-runs-on-hardware-you-probably-already-own-u5po7zub9) · XDA Developers · 6 upvotes · 0 comments - [Gemma 3 Local LLM Deployment: Google's AI for Developers \(2026\)](https://daily.dev/posts/gemma-3-local-llm-deployment-google-s-ai-for-developers-2026--any6cycmf) · SitePoint · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#langchain](https://daily.dev/tags/langchain), [#ollama](https://daily.dev/tags/ollama) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/google-gemma-2-ollama-blog-vjp1ryzyz) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Google Gemma 2 · Ollama Blog","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-gemma-2-ollama-blog-vjp1ryzyz","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-gemma-2-ollama-blog-vjp1ryzyz"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:23:55.841Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:55:43.797Z","description":"Google's Gemma 2 model family is now available to run locally via Ollama in three sizes: 2B, 9B, and 27B parameters.
