usual answer to "why can't I have nice things": lawyers. (on both sides)

Advertisers might be a better reduction

Very cool open release. Impressive that a 27b model can be as good as the much bigger state of the art models (according to their table of Chatbot Arena, tied with O1-preview and above Sonnet 3.7).

But the example image shows that this model still makes dumb errors or has a poor common sense although it read every information correctly.

Generating sexually explicit content can cause reputational damage or have legal risk. Not generating such content is something that many developers are looking for. There is people who may want such harmful content and other players can cover such a niche.

That's a bullshit excuse. The Chinese model creators live in a totalitarian dictatorship where porn is banned and the creators could be arbitrarily jailed, but even they don't go to such effort to censor their open source models (there's censorship on their hosting websites but minimal if you run the models locally).

This could be a historical accident.

Early models were censored, making uncensored releases have bad optics.

If the first models had been uncensored, no one would care if another was added.

Someone knows whether there is support for multiple images as input ? I don't see it from the docs yet.

Not quite yet on Ollama, but hopefully we'll add this soon. Also, we didn't add the pan-and-scan algorithm yet for getting better clarity in the original image.

The model is open weight, I'll bet someone or the other will abliterate it soon. Maybe you want to do the honors? I have an abliterated Llama running on a server shared with friends and it works great.

Can someone explain Gemma vs Gemini for me please?

Gemma is their open-source series of models. Gemini is the propertierary ones. Gemini models are bigger and better. But Gemma are pretty good too.

open-weights, not open-source (sorry to be that one but open source in this case would mean you can build it yourself from provided "source", which you can't, because it's not provided)
