minimize their own liability

I think maybe that is behind some earlier releases but Google is already operating Gemini. It's not going to help them with liability.

Eventually, the cost of making/releasing these models is simply insignificant. Maybe they hope that people messing around with them will give them tips for Gemini. Maybe they hope to familiarize potential future employees with Google specific AI (giving them a larger and more qualified hiring pool).

They may also hope for a bit of good will, but that may easily backfire.
