Community eyes Gemini 1.0 Pro open-source release

Reddit users are advocating for Google to open-source the deprecated Gemini 1.0 Pro model, mirroring xAI's release of Grok-1. As Google shifts focus to the Gemini 3 series and Gemma 4, the community views the 1.0 Pro as a prime candidate for an open-weight contribution at Google I/O 2026.

// ANALYSIS

Open-sourcing legacy flagships like Gemini 1.0 Pro would be a strategic win for Google’s developer relations, transforming "lost media" into a powerful local LLM asset.

–A 70B-100B parameter open-weight release would provide a high-performance alternative to current mid-tier open models.
–The move would pressure other proprietary labs to consider the lifecycle and public utility of their deprecated flagship models.
–Despite the community push, Google’s existing strategy strictly separates the proprietary Gemini brand from the open-weight Gemma lineage.
