The terms of use: https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms and https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy

Something that caught my eye in the terms:

> Google may update Gemma from time to time, and you must make reasonable efforts to use the latest version of Gemma.

One of the biggest benefits of running your own model is that it can protect you from model updates that break your carefully tested prompts, so I’m not thrilled by that particular clause.
