Details Emerged

The image shared on Reddit suggests an invitation from Google to people previously involved in the Qwen project. The goal would seem to be to "make Gemma great again".

Context

Qwen is a family of open-source language models developed by Alibaba. These models have demonstrated competitive capabilities in various benchmarks and have become popular among developers. Acquiring talent who have worked on successful projects like Qwen could give Google a competitive advantage in developing and refining its own language models.
