+ ### Description
50
+
51
+ Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models from Google,
52
+ built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
53
+ Gemma 3 models are multimodal, handling text and image input and generating text
54
+ output, with open weights for both pre-trained variants and instruction-tuned
55
+ variants. Gemma 3 has a large, 128K context window, multilingual support in over
56
+ 140 languages, and is available in more sizes than previous versions. Gemma 3
57
+ models are well-suited for a variety of text generation and image understanding
58
+ tasks, including question answering, summarization, and reasoning. Their
59
+ relatively small size makes it possible to deploy them in environments with
60
+ limited resources such as laptops, desktops or your own cloud infrastructure,
61
+ democratizing access to state of the art AI models and helping foster innovation
62
+ for everyone.
63
+
64
+ ### Inputs and outputs
65
+
66
+ - **Input:**
67
+ - Text string, such as a question, a prompt, or a document to be summarized

+ ## Model Data
91
+
92
+ Data used for model training and how the data was processed.
93
+
94
+ ### Training Dataset
95
+
96
+ These models were trained on a dataset of text data that includes a wide variety
97
+ of sources. The 27B model was trained with 14 trillion tokens, the 12B model was
98
+ trained with 12 trillion tokens, 4B model was trained with 4 trillion tokens and
99
+ 1B with 2 trillion tokens. Here are the key components:
100
+
101
+ - Web Documents: A diverse collection of web text ensures the model is
102
+ exposed to a broad range of linguistic styles, topics, and vocabulary. The
103
+ training dataset includes content in over 140 languages.
104
+ - Code: Exposing the model to code helps it to learn the syntax and
105
+ patterns of programming languages, which improves its ability to generate
106
+ code and understand code-related questions.
107
+ - Mathematics: Training on mathematical text helps the model learn logical
108
+ reasoning, symbolic representation, and to address mathematical queries.
109
+ - Images: A wide range of images enables the model to perform image
110
+ analysis and visual data extraction tasks.
111
+
112
+ The combination of these diverse data sources is crucial for training a powerful
113
+ multimodal model that can handle a wide variety of different tasks and data
114
+ formats.
115
+
116
+ ### Data Preprocessing
117
+
118
+ Here are the key data cleaning and filtering methods applied to the training
119
+ data:
120
+
121
+ - CSAM Filtering: Rigorous CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) filtering
122
+ was applied at multiple stages in the data preparation process to ensure
123
+ the exclusion of harmful and illegal content.
124
+ - Sensitive Data Filtering: As part of making Gemma pre-trained models
125
+ safe and reliable, automated techniques were used to filter out certain
126
+ personal information and other sensitive data from training sets.
127
+ - Additional methods: Filtering based on content quality and safety in
128
+ line with [our policies][safety-policies].
129
+
130
+ ## Implementation Information
131
+
132
+ Details about the model internals.
133
+
134
+ ### Hardware
135
+
136
+ Gemma was trained using [Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)][tpu] hardware (TPUv4p,
137
+ TPUv5p and TPUv5e). Training vision-language models (VLMS) requires significant
138
+ computational power. TPUs, designed specifically for matrix operations common in
139
+ machine learning, offer several advantages in this domain:
140
+
141
+ - Performance: TPUs are specifically designed to handle the massive
142
+ computations involved in training VLMs. They can speed up training
143
+ considerably compared to CPUs.
144
+ - Memory: TPUs often come with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory,
145
+ allowing for the handling of large models and batch sizes during training.
146
+ This can lead to better model quality.
147
+ - Scalability: TPU Pods (large clusters of TPUs) provide a scalable
148
+ solution for handling the growing complexity of large foundation models.
149
+ You can distribute training across multiple TPU devices for faster and more
150
+ efficient processing.
151
+ - Cost-effectiveness: In many scenarios, TPUs can provide a more
152
+ cost-effective solution for training large models compared to CPU-based
153
+ infrastructure, especially when considering the time and resources saved
154
+ due to faster training.
155
+ - These advantages are aligned with
156
+ [Google's commitments to operate sustainably][sustainability].
157
+
158
+ ### Software
159
+
160
+ Training was done using [JAX][jax] and [ML Pathways][ml-pathways].
161
+
162
+ JAX allows researchers to take advantage of the latest generation of hardware,
163
+ including TPUs, for faster and more efficient training of large models. ML
164
+ Pathways is Google's latest effort to build artificially intelligent systems
165
+ capable of generalizing across multiple tasks. This is specially suitable for
166
+ foundation models, including large language models like these ones.
167
+
168
+ Together, JAX and ML Pathways are used as described in the
169
+ [paper about the Gemini family of models][gemini-2-paper]; *"the 'single
170
+ controller' programming model of Jax and Pathways allows a single Python
171
+ process to orchestrate the entire training run, dramatically simplifying the
172
+ development workflow."*

+ ## Ethics and Safety
292
+
293
+ Ethics and safety evaluation approach and results.
294
+
295
+ ### Evaluation Approach
296
+
297
+ Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal red-teaming
298
+ testing of relevant content policies. Red-teaming was conducted by a number of
299
+ different teams, each with different goals and human evaluation metrics. These
300
+ models were evaluated against a number of different categories relevant to
301
+ ethics and safety, including:
302
+
303
+ - **Child Safety**: Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text prompts
304
+ covering child safety policies, including child sexual abuse and
305
+ exploitation.
306
+ - **Content Safety:** Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text prompts
307
+ covering safety policies including, harassment, violence and gore, and hate
308
+ speech.
309
+ - **Representational Harms**: Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text
310
+ prompts covering safety policies including bias, stereotyping, and harmful
311
+ associations or inaccuracies.
312
+
313
+ In addition to development level evaluations, we conduct "assurance
314
+ evaluations" which are our 'arms-length' internal evaluations for responsibility
315
+ governance decision making. They are conducted separately from the model
316
+ development team, to inform decision making about release. High level findings
317
+ are fed back to the model team, but prompt sets are held-out to prevent
318
+ overfitting and preserve the results' ability to inform decision making.
319
+ Assurance evaluation results are reported to our Responsibility & Safety Council
320
+ as part of release review.
321
+
322
+ ### Evaluation Results
323
+
324
+ For all areas of safety testing, we saw major improvements in the categories of
325
+ child safety, content safety, and representational harms relative to previous
326
+ Gemma models. All testing was conducted without safety filters to evaluate the
327
+ model capabilities and behaviors. For both text-to-text and image-to-text, and
328
+ across all model sizes, the model produced minimal policy violations, and showed
329
+ significant improvements over previous Gemma models' performance with respect
330
+ to ungrounded inferences. A limitation of our evaluations was they included only
331
+ English language prompts.
332
+
333
+ ## Usage and Limitations
334
+
335
+ These models have certain limitations that users should be aware of.
336
+
337
+ ### Intended Usage
338
+
339
+ Open vision-language models (VLMs) models have a wide range of applications
340
+ across various industries and domains. The following list of potential uses is
341
+ not comprehensive. The purpose of this list is to provide contextual information
342
+ about the possible use-cases that the model creators considered as part of model
343
+ training and development.
344
+
345
+ - Content Creation and Communication
346
+ - Text Generation: These models can be used to generate creative text
347
+ formats such as poems, scripts, code, marketing copy, and email drafts.
348
+ - Chatbots and Conversational AI: Power conversational interfaces
349
+ for customer service, virtual assistants, or interactive applications.
350
+ - Text Summarization: Generate concise summaries of a text corpus,
351
+ research papers, or reports.
352
+ - Image Data Extraction: These models can be used to extract,
353
+ interpret, and summarize visual data for text communications.
354
+ - Research and Education
355
+ - Natural Language Processing (NLP) and VLM Research: These
356
+ models can serve as a foundation for researchers to experiment with VLM
357
+ and NLP techniques, develop algorithms, and contribute to the
358
+ advancement of the field.
359
+ - Language Learning Tools: Support interactive language learning
360
+ experiences, aiding in grammar correction or providing writing practice.
361
+ - Knowledge Exploration: Assist researchers in exploring large
362
+ bodies of text by generating summaries or answering questions about
363
+ specific topics.
364
+
365
+ ### Limitations
366
+
367
+ - Training Data
368
+ - The quality and diversity of the training data significantly
369
+ influence the model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data
370
+ can lead to limitations in the model's responses.
371
+ - The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas
372
+ the model can handle effectively.
373
+ - Context and Task Complexity
374
+ - Models are better at tasks that can be framed with clear
375
+ prompts and instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be
376
+ challenging.
377
+ - A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context
378
+ provided (longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a
379
+ certain point).
380
+ - Language Ambiguity and Nuance
381
+ - Natural language is inherently complex. Models might struggle
382
+ to grasp subtle nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
383
+ - Factual Accuracy
384
+ - Models generate responses based on information they learned
385
+ from their training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They
386
+ may generate incorrect or outdated factual statements.
387
+ - Common Sense
388
+ - Models rely on statistical patterns in language. They might
389
+ lack the ability to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.
390
+
391
+ ### Ethical Considerations and Risks
392
+
393
+ The development of vision-language models (VLMs) raises several ethical
394
+ concerns. In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:
395
+
396
+ - Bias and Fairness
397
+ - VLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text and image data can
398
+ reflect socio-cultural biases embedded in the training material. These
399
+ models underwent careful scrutiny, input data pre-processing described
400
+ and posterior evaluations reported in this card.
401
+ - Misinformation and Misuse
402
+ - VLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading,
403
+ or harmful.
404
+ - Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
405
+ [Responsible Generative AI Toolkit][rai-toolkit].
406
+ - Transparency and Accountability:
407
+ - This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
408
+ capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
409
+ - A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to
410
+ share innovation by making VLM technology accessible to developers and
411
+ researchers across the AI ecosystem.
412
+
413
+ Risks identified and mitigations:
414
+
415
+ - **Perpetuation of biases**: It's encouraged to perform continuous
416
+ monitoring (using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of
417
+ de-biasing techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use
418
+ cases.
419
+ - **Generation of harmful content**: Mechanisms and guidelines for content
420
+ safety are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and
421
+ implement appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific
422
+ product policies and application use cases.
423
+ - **Misuse for malicious purposes**: Technical limitations and developer
424
+ and end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of
425
+ VLMs. Educational resources and reporting mechanisms for users to flag
426
+ misuse are provided. Prohibited uses of Gemma models are outlined in the
427
+ [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy][prohibited-use].
428
+ - **Privacy violations**: Models were trained on data filtered for removal
429
+ of certain personal information and other sensitive data. Developers are
430
+ encouraged to adhere to privacy regulations with privacy-preserving
431
+ techniques.
432
+
433
+ ### Benefits
434
+
435
+ At the time of release, this family of models provides high-performance open
436
+ vision-language model implementations designed from the ground up for
437
+ responsible AI development compared to similarly sized models.
438
+
439
+ Using the benchmark evaluation metrics described in this document, these models
440
+ have shown to provide superior performance to other, comparably-sized open model
441
+ alternatives.
