Google released VaultGemma, the largest open-weight language model (1B parameters) trained from scratch with differential privacy, alongside new scaling laws quantifying compute-privacy-utility trade-offs.
“Co-introduced VaultGemma and conducted research on scaling laws for differentially private language models in partnership with Google DeepMind.”
