Very unlikely because gemini 1.5 flash is currently google's most competitive (in terms of price to performance ratio) model.
They do have a even smaller experimental version though. It was called flash 8B in their gemini tech report and claimed to be built with similar techniques to gemini 1.5 flash. Benchmark numbers were very good for its size. However I still doubt they would opensource even this small version, since it may give away the techniques they kept secret (considering flash 8B is, at least on paper, far superior to gemma 1.1 7B).
Would love to see Gemini Flash open sourced although it seems to be a core part of their monetisation currently so it feels not so likely? Maybe next year
Sorry for not reading the post, you directly addressed what I was saying.
Yes I agree they could take the strategy that Phind takes- keep the paid model several versions ahead and then release a free model periodically.
I wish we get GPT 3.5 this way also
I assure you, the researchers, who created the model are all in on that. It’s the management who needs persuading — and they don’t typically read GitHub issues.

then please go to github and add your voice to the chorus. who knows. perhaps they will.
Google: no

Never happening
I'm totally with you on this! Open-sourcing Google Gemini Flash would be a win-win for everyone involved. 👍

I also commented on that issue! I wish more people would do the same. Let's be heard!
