Google & Yale release C2S Scale, a Gemma-based model for cell analysis

Hi! This is Omar, from the Gemma team. I'm super excited to share this research based on Gemma. Today, we're releasing a 27B model for single-cell analysis. This model generated hypotheses about how cancer cells behave, and we were able to confirm the predictions with experimental validation in living cells. This reveals a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer. This applications of open models for medical use cases are super exciting for me. It's one of many examples of how open models can change the world Model: [https://huggingface.co/vandijklab/C2S-Scale-Gemma-2-27B](https://huggingface.co/vandijklab/C2S-Scale-Gemma-2-27B) Paper: [https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.14.648850v2](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.14.648850v2) Blog: [https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-gemma-ai-cancer-therapy-discovery/](https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-gemma-ai-cancer-therapy-discovery/)
