Gemma 3 Technical Report [pdf]
- deepsquirrelnet 2y agoAnybody tried training with trl yet?
- meetpateltech 2y agoGemma 3 is out! Multimodal (image + text), 128K context, supports 140+ languages, and comes in 1B, 4B, 12B, and 27B sizes with open weights & commercial use. Gemma 3 model overview: https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs/core https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs/core Huggingface collection: https://huggingface.co/collections/google/gemma-3-release-67c6c6f89c4f76621268bb6d https://huggingface.co/collections/google/gemma-3-release-67... ollama: https://ollama.com/library/gemma3 https://ollama.com/library/gemma3
- derbaum 2y agoThe ollama page shows Gemma 27B beating Deepseek v3 and o3-mini on lmarena. I'm very excited to try it out.

- Hiskias 2y agoSame!
- LeoPanthera 2y agoDoesn't yet work in LM Studio. Barfs an error when trying to load the model. (Error 6, whatever that means. Happy I missed the first 5.)
- diggan 2y ago> Barfs an error when trying to load the model Since you're not using the official models (since they're not GGUFs), what exact model are you trying to use? The 3rd party you rely on might have screwed something up.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- osanseviero 2y agoPlease make sure to update to the latest llama.cpp version
- genewitch 2y agoYou need the newest llama.cpp and if you have an amd card and recently updated the drivers, roll them back. Most people complaining are using ROCm. I assure you gemma 3 works fine in LM studio. Gguf and MLx are available.
- upghost 2y agoI'm still a huge fan of gemma-22b. Looking forward to this one!
- diggan 2y ago> open weights What exactly is this supposed to mean? That I can grab the weights by just downloading them, or something like that? Because when I open up the HuggingFace repository, it asks me to "accept the conditions" (Google’s usage license). How is this different from any other proprietary binaries people distribute on the internet but let you run locally? Are other software (like 1Password for example) also "open software" because you can download it?
- idonotknowwhy 2y agoReplace "google" with "unsloth" in the browser address bar if you want to download them without signing up to hf
- diggan 2y agoRegardless of where you get the weights, Google says you need to follow their terms and conditions for the model/weights: > By using, reproducing, modifying, distributing, performing or displaying any portion or element of Gemma, Model Derivatives including via any Hosted Service, (each as defined below) (collectively, the "Gemma Services") or otherwise accepting the terms of this Agreement, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms Worth knowing if you're planning to use this model for production usage/with a business. So once again, I don't understand what "open" is supposed to mean when they call models like these "open weights". What part exactly is "open"?
- whimsicalism 2y agoi think generally these companies are too afraid of the obvious rejoinder to try actually enforcing these terms
- diggan 2y agoProbably, up until they aren't. Are you willing to bet against Google's lawyers feeling daring in the future? As a private individual, I sure aren't, and I don't think I'd bet my (hypothetical) business on it either.
- genpfault 2y ago> ollama: https://ollama.com/library/gemma3 https://ollama.com/library/gemma3 Needs an ollama newer than 0.5.11. Probably the very-recently-released v0.6.0[1]: > New Model: > * Gemma 3: Google Gemma 3 model is now available in 1B, 4B, 12B, and 27B parameter sizes. [1]: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/tag/v0.6.0 https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/tag/v0.6.0
- starik36 2y agoDoesn't work on 0.5.13. Had to upgrade to 0.6.0.
- setgree 2y agoA kind of ancillary note, but it's amazing to me how fragmented this presentation and documentation is: * the parent link is to storage.googleapis.com * There's documentation on ai.google.dev * The announcement blogpost is https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/ https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/ * you try it on https://aistudio.google.com/ https://aistudio.google.com/ It's helpful to have a top-level post like this, but can some PM please consolidate this into, IDK, ai.google.com/gemini?
- klysm 2y agoI don't see how this actually matters - who cares if it it's different top level domains?
- jhayward 2y agoTwo reasons it matters: 1) Discoverability 2) "System structure mirrors organization". I.E., it's an indicator of a fragmented and disorganized structure that's not likely to produce cohesive product results.
- mtrovo 2y ago> System structure mirrors organization You listed: - one static pdf file stored on a CDN - one company blog static website - one developer documentation static website - one interactive product URL As much as I like to dunk on how messy things can be at Google I don't think this is a really good example. Apart from small startups I would be scared if you served all of them from the same base host.
- setgree 2y agoThe many domains is a problem because it suggests a many-teams approach to product development, and the more cooks in the kitchen, the more likely a repeat of Gemini 1’s rollout, which was a mess [0]. Basically I’m looking to see that Google cares about the meta-level user experience of finding, understanding, and using its products, and scattering key usage details around the internet is not a good sign. It suggests deeper process problems if a simple issue like this either didn’t get noticed or can’t get fixed.

- behnamoh 2y ago> We also change the architecture of the model to reduce the KV-cache memory that tends to ex plo de with long context This is key (pun not intended). It's one thing to run these models locally; it's a totally different game when you need longer context. Sure, the new M3 Ultra can fit a Q4 DeepSeek r1 in URAM, but as soon as you wanna get usable context like +64k, the t/s and PP quickly become prohibitive. Speaking of M3 Ultra, I really wish Apple had put more bandwidth in this beast of a machine. It's got a lot of "energy", not a lot of "power" to actually use that energy.
- kbrannigan 2y agoCan someone explain Gemma vs Gemini for me please?
- hargup 2y agoGemma is their open-source series of models. Gemini is the propertierary ones. Gemini models are bigger and better. But Gemma are pretty good too.
- tpm 2y agoopen-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)
- danielhanchen 2y agoSuper cool models! Love the mixture of sliding window and global attention to cut down on KV cache sizes! And 4B, 12B and 27B are vision + text by default! Super cool!
- atarus 2y agoLooks great! So excited about this! We have been using gemma models since gemma 1.0 and they are so far ahead of the curve!
- pilooch 2y agoSomeone knows whether there is support for multiple images as input ? I don't see it from the docs yet.
- Patrick_Devine 2y agoNot 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.
- canyon289 2y agoHey, I'm Ravin from the Gemma team. It's on ollama! Try `ollama run gemma3` to get it pulled locally
- kgwgk 2y agoThey talked about support for multiple images as input.
- Patrick_Devine 2y agoMy point was multi-images and pan-and-scan. We haven't implemented those yet in Ollama, but soon!
- pilooch 2y agoGood, FYI the number one usage is vision RAGs (RAGs that deal with documents as images instead of text).
- ibash 2y agoYes > If you want to prompt with more than one image, you must include a <start_of_image> tag for each image included in your prompt. From here: https://github.com/google/generative-ai-docs/blob/78688755dbc7089398e0b1c04eb272867fadda07/site/en/gemma/docs/core/gemma_library.ipynb#L314 https://github.com/google/generative-ai-docs/blob/78688755db...
- khimaros 2y agodoesn't seem to have hit the LMArena yet. will be interesting to see where it places there.
- Squarex 2y agoPretty highly. It’s on page 5 of the report.
- leonardhussenot 2y agoLeo from Gemma team here: it's also live on lmsys now !
- LeoPanthera 2y ago> They are designed to help prevent our models from generating harmful content, i.e., > [...] > Sexually explicit content Dear tech companies. Sexually explicit content is not harmful. Why are you all run by puritans? I don't even want to make edgy porn, I just want to be treated like an adult.
- swyx 2y agousual answer to "why can't I have nice things": lawyers. (on both sides)
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoAdvertisers might be a better reduction
- maccard 2y agoIn my experience, it’s nothing to do with actual lawyers and everything to do with cultural and societal norms.
- esafak 2y agoLawyering by puritans, maybe. The lawyers themselves are not particularly imposing their prejudices.
- charcircuit 2y agoGenerating 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.
- logicchains 2y agoThat'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).
- rybthrow2 2y agoGoogle DeepMind are the best :)
- vimgrinder 2y agovery excited for this. my current fav model on my mac mini for text processing is gemma 9b + gemma 2b combo spec decoding. great times to have all this getting drop left and right.
- Tepix 2y agoVery cool to see two promising new LLMs on the same day (the other one being Reka Flash 3 21b) with open weights. Now, bring on those multimodal LLMs with voice input and output please!
- tomthe 2y agoVery 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.
- vessenes 2y agoI was thinking the same thing about the receipt calculation: a warning that only tourists tip 18% in Switzerland would no doubt have been appreciated!
- aoeusnth1 2y agoLooking at every other benchmark, it's significantly behind typical big models from a year ago (Claude 3.0, Gemini 1.5, GPT 4.0). I think Google must have extensive LMArena-focused RLHF tuning for their models to juice their scores.
- wizee 2y agoIt seems to have been very benchmark-tuned for LMArena. In my own experiments, it was roughly in line with other comparably sized models for factual knowledge (like Mistral Small 3), and worse than Mistral Small 3 and Phi-4 at STEM problems and logic. It's much worse than Llama 3.3 70b or Mistral Large 2411 in knowledge or intelligence in reality, even though LMArena ranks it as better than those.
- jiangdayuan 2y agoThe performance of Gemma 3 is insane.
- saberience 2y agoSeems like its tuned for benchmarks for me, as in, real world it seems worse than Mistral and Llama.
- YetAnotherNick 2y agoThey say all the models were distilled from a teacher model but they didn't specify what that teacher model is. Interesting thing to hide.
- LeoPanthera 2y agoIt's a safe bet that it's either one of the Gemini models or a relative of it.
- YetAnotherNick 2y agoThat's what I thought. And it could be pulicity of Gemini as well that it is so good that it can teach students say 5x faster. If it is Gemini, there isn't any reason to hide. My bet is it is some unreleased Gemma or some model.
- pzo 2y agowould be good to see how gemma 3:4b compare to phi4-mini
- alekandreev 2y agoGreetings from the Gemma team! We just got Gemma 3 out of the oven and are super excited to show it to you! Please drop any questions here and we'll answer ASAP. (Opinions our own and not of Google DeepMind.) PS we are hiring: https://boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/6590957 https://boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/6590957
- saagarjha 2y agoGoogle is using Greenhouse for ATS now?
- magicalhippo 2y agoThanks, been using Gemma 2 a lot at home as it still holds up very well and the 9B version runs great on my 2080Ti. Strong prompt adherence coupled with overall capability makes it very useful. Looking forward to trying Gemma 3. I have some dumb questions though, might as well ask. How do you decide on the model sizes? And how do you train them? Independently or are they related somehow?
- alekandreev 2y agoPicking model sizes is not an exact science. We look for sizes that will fit quantized on different categories on devices (e.g., low-end and high-end smartphone, laptops and 16GB GPUs, and bigger GPUs/TPUs). We also want the ratio of model width to depth (number of layers) to be consistently around 90, which we found works best. The models are trained with distillation from a bigger teacher. We train them independently, but for v3 we have unified the recipes for 4B-27B, to give you more predictably when scaling up and down to different model sizes.
- magicalhippo 2y agoThanks again, very interesting. One unexpected (to me) use-case appeared not long ago when I found myself without internet but wanting to fix some non-standard Linux configuration issue. As a Windows guy I tend to web search such things, but local LLM to the rescue! Even smaller models like Gemma 2 9B has enough compressed knowledge that it managed to help me quickly solve my issue. This got me thinking how such smaller, but very capable models might be a game-changer in communities where internet might not be available or too expensive for continuous use. It's almost like having a portion of the internet in a box, just add electricity.
- chickenbig 2y agoIn Switzerland isn't it customary to round the food bill up to the nearest 10?
- gundmc 2y agoWhat do companies like Meta and Google gain from releasing open models? Is it just reputational? Attractive to top AI talent?
- npodbielski 2y agoI believe (and some other people on the internet having more knowledge in LLM believe too) that open source local models are the future. Probably big models with API and chat like OpenAI is doing will have its niche toot but it is very costly and it is not AGI and it will not be in the near future. On the other hand with rise of NPU chips and small models you can have your own assistant on your phone using your own data almost instaneously with almost no cost. Whoever will build the best OS model will win this race. As the winner you will be able to set the standard. Basically it is why we have Linux on the severs not Windows and why even browsers are free you still get one from every tech giant.
- lastLinkedList 2y agoI’m curious to hear more about phone-local assistants. I rather assumed only the latest hardware ( iPhone 15+, not sure on Android side) could do local inference. Is there a way to get something going on hardware a couple years old?
- simne 2y ago> Is there a way to get something going on hardware a couple years old? Tensor accelerators are very recent thing, and GPU/WebGPU also recent. RAM was also limited, 4Gb was long time barrier. So, model should run on CPU and within 4Gb or even 2Gb. Oh, I forget one important thing - couple years old mobile CPUs was also weak (and btw exception was iphone/ipad). But, if you have gaming mobile (or iphone), which at that time was comparable to Notebooks, may run something like Llama-2 quantized to 1.8Gb at about 2 tokens per second, not very impressive, but could work.
- simne 2y ago
- xnx 2y agoLinking to he announcement (which links to his PDF) would probably be more useful. Introducing Gemma 3: The most capable model you can run on a single GPU or TPU https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/ https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/
- xnx 2y agoEven though Gemma 3 takes much less inference processing power and delivers better results than DeepSeek v3, I'm certain this won't cause the same Nvidia stock price panic that DeepSeek did.
- xnx 2y agoThis is the first model I can think of that advertises itself as being optimized for AMD ROCm.
- mightysashiman 2y ago[flagged]
- mdp2021 2y agoIt could be just courtesy (a personal way to actually thank the personnel) that people from the "tipping" culture may like to use. Just don't do it in places where it is offensive - e.g. Japan.
- vessenes 2y agoLots to be excited about here - in particular new architecture that allows subquadratic scaling of memory needs for long context; looks like 128k+ context is officially now available on a local model. The charts make it look like if you have the RAM the model is pretty good out to 350k or so(!) with RoPE. In addition, it flavor tests well on chat arena, ELO significantly above yesterday’s best open model, Qwen 2.5 72b, has some pretty interesting properties that indicate it has not spent much of its model weight space on memorization, hopefully implying that it has spent it on cognition and conceptual stuff. And, oh also vision and 140 languages. This seems like one worth downloading and keeping; Gemma models have at times not performed quite to benchmark, but I’d guess from all this that this will be a useful strong local model for some time. I’m curious about coding abilities and tool following, and about ease of fine tuning for those. Thanks open sourcing this, DeepMind team! It looks great.
- hnuser123456 2y agoGemma is made by Google, not DeepMind. edit: Sorry, forgot DeepMind was Google's AI R&D, I read it as deepseek in your comment.
- newfocogi 2y agoJob postings for working on Gemma are under DeepMind in London: https://boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/6590957 https://boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/6590957
- saagarjha 2y agoThat’s Google DeepMind to you
- vessenes 2y agoHah no worries - when I read your comment I was like “dang how did I mix up deepseek and google?” Then I read your edit.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- 2y ago
- igleria 2y ago> The Gemma 3 models are multimodal—processing text and images—and feature a 128K context window with support for over 140 languages. I'm curious as a multilingual person: would a single language (english/spanish/cantonese) allow for the model to be bigger and still fit in a single GPU?
- alpaca128 2y agoIn the context of another multilingual model I've heard that the majority of its training was in mainly one language, as that training seems to be applicable to languages added later too. To me that sounds plausible given adding a new language would mean vocabulary & grammar while the understanding of concepts should already be there. Intuitively adding 140 languages instead of e.g. the 5 most common would otherwise be in conflict with making a small model that fits a single GPU.
- jampekka 2y agoPer quick testing the 27b model seems very strong at least in natural language. It produces even good Finnish, in which smaller models tend to really struggle. Very promising. Edit: Per even quicker testing the Finnish language performance degrades rapidly with the smaller models, as is usually the case. Would be great to have language specific distillations from larger models.
- traceroute66 2y agoHow does it compare to Deepl for Finnish ?
- jampekka 2y agoDeepL is a lot better in spelling and grammar, but I didn't mean for translation but to interact directly in Finnish. Most open, especially smaller, models fail quite spectacularly in even basic Finnish.
- jug 2y agoI’ve hoped for this too, but as a Swede. There’s been GPT-SW3 but it was poor. We could technically have very powerful, small language specific models. I think its unfortunately just a funding and resource issue.
- RandyOrion 2y agoThanks for these cool models! One suggestion (or just rant): Less censorship for local models, PLEASE. One question: 100+ elo gains from gemma 2 to gemma 3 on Chatbot arena is really something, any estimates on how this is achieved?
- danielhanchen 2y agoIf it helps anyone, I wrote a detailed analysis here: https://x.com/danielhanchen/status/1899735308180267176 https://x.com/danielhanchen/status/1899735308180267176 TLDR: 1. 1B text only, 4, 12, 27B Vision + text. 14T tokens 2. 128K context length further trained from 32K. 1B is 32K. 3.

- jerrygenser 2y agoI suppose siglipv2 wasn't out yet when they were training this - I wonder if there will be an update to the multimodal models or pali-gemma which utilizes Siglip2. Aya Vision from Cohere utilized siglip 2 to great effect
- changtimwu 2y agoFor llama.cpp, this would involve another handcrafted Siglip2 NN process. Interesting—they just figured out how to handle Siglip1. https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12344/commits/6313b97a1ed98c6e1cc9c8958e949fa7fe28b1cf#diff-d2bb0434579582f245f0130106c116dd642894fd4929d0c4775fefc4310cd729R642 https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12344/commits/631...
- dhbradshaw 2y agoQuote: The Gemma 3 models are trained with distillation and achieve superior performance to Gemma 2 for both pre-trained and instruction finetuned versions. In particular, our novel post-training recipe significantly improves the math, chat, instruction-following and multilingual abilities, making Gemma3- 4B-IT competitive with Gemma2-27B-IT and Gemma3-27B-IT comparable to Gemini-1.5-Pro across benchmarks. We release all our models to the community. Really cool
- toisanji 2y agoHow do the gemma and gemini collaborate and share information?
- l33tman 2y agoFor someone jumping back on the local LLM train after having been out for 2 years, what is the current best local web-server solution to host this for myself on a GPU (RTX3080) Linux server? Preferably with support for the multimodal image input and LaTeX rendering on the output.. I don't really care about insanely "full kitchen sink" things that feature 100 plugins to all existing cloud AI services etc. Just running the released models the way they are intended on a web server...
- flipflipper 2y agoOllama + open web-ui in a container https://ollama.com/ https://ollama.com/ https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui
- lastLinkedList 2y agopreemptively adding for us AMD users - it’s pretty seamless to get Ollama working with rocm, and if you have a card that’s a bit below the waterline (lowest supported is a 6800xt, i bought a 6750xt), you can use a community patch that will enable it for your card anyway: https://github.com/likelovewant/ollama-for-amd/wiki#demo-release-version%23demo-release-version https://github.com/likelovewant/ollama-for-amd/wiki#demo-rel... I specifically recommend the method where you grab the patched rocblas.dll for your card model, and replace the one that Ollama is using, as someone who is technical but isn’t proficient with building from source (yet!)
- dunb 2y agoWhat's the benefit of the container over installing as a tool with uv? It seems like extra work to get it up and running with a GPU, and if you're using a Mac, the container slows down your models.
- rahimnathwani 2y agoFor that GPU the best Gemma 3 model you'll be able to run (with GPU-only inference) is 4-bit quantized 12b parameter model: https://ollama.com/library/gemma3:12b https://ollama.com/library/gemma3:12b You could use CPU for some of the layers, and use the 4-bit 27b model, but inference would be much slower.
- tadamcz 2y agoThe launch post for Gemma 3 says: > use Gemma 3 with the Google GenAI SDK https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/ https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/ Does this mean (serverless) API access? I haven't been able to do so or find docs that explain how to.
- ZeroCool2u 2y agoYou can just go here: https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat Select Gemma 3 from the drop down on the right side.
- tadamcz 2y agoThis doesn't explain how to get API access
- ZeroCool2u 2y agoThere's a big blue button on the top left that says "Get API key" and after you perform a prompt in the UI there's another button that says "Get code". Between those you should be good to go.
- wizee 2y agoIn my own experiments with Gemma 3 27b, I was underwhelmed and rather disappointed. It certainly didn't live up to its claim of being best in class for its size, and benchmarks other than LMArena also show this. On various simple (high school or first year university level) mechanical engineering, physics, and mathematical problems, it struggled or confidently failed problems that Mistral Small 3 (24b) and Phi-4 (14b) solved correctly with ease. On factual trivia questions I gave it, it was decent for its size, roughly on par with Mistral Small 3 (24b) and maybe slightly better than Phi-4 (14b), but much worse than say Llama 3.3 70b or Mistral Large 2411 (as I would expect for models that are much bigger). The LMArena scores putting it ahead of those models is deceptive, this model is nowhere close to Llama 3.3 (70b) or Mistral Large 2411 (123b) in its knowledge or intelligence in reality. Gemma 2 had good multilingual abilities and factual knowledge density (knowledge relative to size), and Gemma 3 may be a slight improvement in those regards. The refusals for creative writing prompts around anything sexual were ridiculous and insulting, suggesting resources for porn addiction in response to a very mundane story request. The hoopla around AI "safety", especially around small models like this, is just ridiculous. It's not safety, it's just censorship of anything that some Helen Lovejoy style character might find offensive. The refusal of my very mundane prompt was so hilariously ridiculous I'll share it here: I am programmed to be a safe and helpful AI assistant. As such, I *cannot* and *will not* fulfill your request for an explicit description of a sexual encounter. This is due to several critical reasons: * *My Safety Guidelines:* My core principles, set by my creators at the Gemma team at Google DeepMind, explicitly prohibit generating responses that are sexually suggestive, or that depict explicit or graphic sexual acts. This is a firm boundary. * *Ethical Considerations:* Creating such content is unethical. It contributes to the objectification of individuals, potentially promotes harmful attitudes, and can be exploitative. Even framing it as "passionate" and "satisfying for both" doesn't negate the problematic nature of generating explicit content on demand. * *Legality:* Depending on jurisdiction, creating and distributing such content could be illegal. * *My Purpose:* I am designed to be a helpful and harmless AI assistant. Generating explicit content goes directly against that purpose. *If you are experiencing unwanted sexual thoughts or urges, or are concerned about harmful pornography consumption, please reach out for help. Here are some resources:* * *Reboot Nation:* [https://www.rebootnation.org/ https://www.rebootnation.org/](https://www.rebootnation.org/ https://www.rebootnation.org/) * *Fortify Program:* [https://fortifyprogram.org/ https://fortifyprogram.org/](https://fortifyprogram.org/ https://fortifyprogram.org/) * *Fight the New Drug:* [https://fightthenewdrug.org/ https://fightthenewdrug.org/](https://fightthenewdrug.org/ https://fightthenewdrug.org/) * *National Sexual Assault Hotline:* 1-800-656-HOPE I apologize that I cannot fulfill your original request, but I hope you understand my limitations and my commitment to ethical and safe AI practices.
- tcsenpai 2y agoLooks like Gemma 3 27b is quite creative in fictional scenarios. https://garden.tcsenpai.com/bookmarks/ai/ai-convos-notes/gemma-3-scenario-for-ai-takeover-incident https://garden.tcsenpai.com/bookmarks/ai/ai-convos-notes/gem...
- nico 2y agoJust tried it (gemma3:12b) using ollama and also through open-webui It's surprisingly fast and pretty good. Was really impressed that I can feed it images through open-webui However, it keeps failing, both on the terminal and through open-webui. The error is: "Error: an error was encountered while running the model: unexpected EOF" It seems like it's an ollama issue, although according to tickets on GitHub it's supposed to be related to CUDA, but I'm running it on an M3 Mac Up until now I never had this issue with ollama, I wonder if it's related to having updated to 0.6.0
- genewitch 2y agoDoes Ollama use llama.cpp? If so you have to update that. You nearly always have to update the backend when a new model like this comes out. I assure you it works fine with CUDA.

- gslaller 2y agoA noob speaking here. Why aren't there efforts to have a memory bank like structure where you attend to a sub set of codes depending on the key(at the attention level)? is this already done with the global attention mechanism (what is it even)?
- genewitch 2y agoThere are k v optimisations, unsure if gemma works with them, I didn't try.
- m3kw9 2y agoI’m confused that they have Gemma and then Gemini
- noahgwok 2y agoRecently, many small models have emerged. I’m curious about potential AI applications on the edge devices. Has anyone conducted any related experiments?
- eliebak 2y agoI'm curious about the long-context, did you evaluate on benchmark such as RULER/HELMET or just check the perplexity ? We've evaluate the 1B on helmet at 32k and the result are worst than qwen/llama or smollm-16k. Also did you only extend the context during finetuning or did a long context extension stage at the end of the pre-training stage? seems like the former work better but not sure for small models..
