Tomer Tunguz 分析：从 GPT-4o 到 Gemma 4 E4B，前沿能力 23 个月进入手机

In short : State of the art AI reaches your laptop in 3-4 months, your phone in 23. Google's Gemma 4 E4B matches GPT-4o and runs entirely on your phone.

Two years ago, the idea of useful AI on your phone was fantastical. Siri couldn’t finish a sentence. Local models hallucinated nonsense.

Last week, Google released Gemma 4 E4B¹, a free model that matches GPT-4o and runs entirely on your phone.²

The next few weeks promise even more advanced pocket models. The market expects new releases from DeepSeek³, Qwen⁴, Kimi⁵ & Minimax⁶.

Frontier models don’t stay frontier for long. Within three to four months, you can run a model with similar performance on your laptop; 23 months later, you can run the same model on your phone.

Three forces are driving this compression. Better algorithms : distillation & reinforcement learning squeeze more capability into fewer parameters. Talent density : the biggest prizes in capitalism attract the best minds in the field. These are the fastest growing software companies in history. And capital : a trillion dollars invested in data centers powering training.

In 23 months, the same capability that needed 1.8 trillion parameters now fits in 4 billion parameters. A 450x compression. At this rate, the phone in your pocket will run today’s frontier models before you upgrade it.
