Gemma 2 9B IT
Gemma 2 9B IT is Google DeepMind's mid-tier Gemma 2 model, a 9-billion-parameter instruction-tuned transformer released July 2024. It performs comparably to Llama 3.1 8B and Mistral 7B v0.3 on standard benchmarks, and Groq hosts it with some of the lowest latency numbers available for sub-10B models. Pricing across providers typically lands below $0.20 per million tokens, making it cost-competitive for high-throughput classification, extraction, and short-form generation. The 8K context window is the same bottleneck as the rest of the Gemma 2 line — document-QA or retrieval-augmented workloads that need 32K or more should look elsewhere. License is Gemma, permissive but not OSI-approved.
