48
+ ### Description
49
+
50
+ Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models from Google,
51
+ built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
52
+ Gemma 3 models are multimodal, handling text and image input and generating text
53
+ output, with open weights for both pre-trained variants and instruction-tuned
54
+ variants. Gemma 3 has a large, 128K context window, multilingual support in over
55
+ 140 languages, and is available in more sizes than previous versions. Gemma 3
56
+ models are well-suited for a variety of text generation and image understanding
57
+ tasks, including question answering, summarization, and reasoning. Their
58
+ relatively small size makes it possible to deploy them in environments with
59
+ limited resources such as laptops, desktops or your own cloud infrastructure,
60
+ democratizing access to state of the art AI models and helping foster innovation
61
+ for everyone.
62
+
63
+ ### Inputs and outputs
64
+
65
+ - **Input:**
66
+ - Text string, such as a question, a prompt, or a document to be summarized

+ ## Model Data
90
+
91
+ Data used for model training and how the data was processed.
92
+
93
+ ### Training Dataset
94
+
95
+ These models were trained on a dataset of text data that includes a wide variety
96
+ of sources. The 27B model was trained with 14 trillion tokens, the 12B model was
97
+ trained with 12 trillion tokens, 4B model was trained with 4 trillion tokens and
98
+ 1B with 2 trillion tokens. Here are the key components:
99
+
100
+ - Web Documents: A diverse collection of web text ensures the model is
101
+ exposed to a broad range of linguistic styles, topics, and vocabulary. The
102
+ training dataset includes content in over 140 languages.
103
+ - Code: Exposing the model to code helps it to learn the syntax and
104
+ patterns of programming languages, which improves its ability to generate
105
+ code and understand code-related questions.
106
+ - Mathematics: Training on mathematical text helps the model learn logical
107
+ reasoning, symbolic representation, and to address mathematical queries.
108
+ - Images: A wide range of images enables the model to perform image
109
+ analysis and visual data extraction tasks.
110
+
111
+ The combination of these diverse data sources is crucial for training a powerful
112
+ multimodal model that can handle a wide variety of different tasks and data
113
+ formats.
114
+
115
+ ### Data Preprocessing
116
+
117
+ Here are the key data cleaning and filtering methods applied to the training
118
+ data:
119
+
120
+ - CSAM Filtering: Rigorous CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) filtering
121
+ was applied at multiple stages in the data preparation process to ensure
122
+ the exclusion of harmful and illegal content.
123
+ - Sensitive Data Filtering: As part of making Gemma pre-trained models
124
+ safe and reliable, automated techniques were used to filter out certain
125
+ personal information and other sensitive data from training sets.
126
+ - Additional methods: Filtering based on content quality and safety in
127
+ line with [our policies][safety-policies].
128
+
129
+ ## Implementation Information
130
+
131
+ Details about the model internals.
132
+
133
+ ### Hardware
134
+
135
+ Gemma was trained using [Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)][tpu] hardware (TPUv4p,
136
+ TPUv5p and TPUv5e). Training vision-language models (VLMS) requires significant
137
+ computational power. TPUs, designed specifically for matrix operations common in
138
+ machine learning, offer several advantages in this domain:
139
+
140
+ - Performance: TPUs are specifically designed to handle the massive
141
+ computations involved in training VLMs. They can speed up training
142
+ considerably compared to CPUs.
143
+ - Memory: TPUs often come with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory,
144
+ allowing for the handling of large models and batch sizes during training.
145
+ This can lead to better model quality.
146
+ - Scalability: TPU Pods (large clusters of TPUs) provide a scalable
147
+ solution for handling the growing complexity of large foundation models.
148
+ You can distribute training across multiple TPU devices for faster and more
149
+ efficient processing.
150
+ - Cost-effectiveness: In many scenarios, TPUs can provide a more
151
+ cost-effective solution for training large models compared to CPU-based
152
+ infrastructure, especially when considering the time and resources saved
153
+ due to faster training.
154
+ - These advantages are aligned with
155
+ [Google's commitments to operate sustainably][sustainability].
156
+
157
+ ### Software
158
+
159
+ Training was done using [JAX][jax] and [ML Pathways][ml-pathways].
160
+
161
+ JAX allows researchers to take advantage of the latest generation of hardware,
162
+ including TPUs, for faster and more efficient training of large models. ML
163
+ Pathways is Google's latest effort to build artificially intelligent systems
164
+ capable of generalizing across multiple tasks. This is specially suitable for
165
+ foundation models, including large language models like these ones.
166
+
167
+ Together, JAX and ML Pathways are used as described in the
168
+ [paper about the Gemini family of models][gemini-2-paper]; *"the 'single
169
+ controller' programming model of Jax and Pathways allows a single Python
170
+ process to orchestrate the entire training run, dramatically simplifying the
171
+ development workflow."*

+ ## Ethics and Safety
291
+
292
+ Ethics and safety evaluation approach and results.
293
+
294
+ ### Evaluation Approach
295
+
296
+ Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal red-teaming
297
+ testing of relevant content policies. Red-teaming was conducted by a number of
298
+ different teams, each with different goals and human evaluation metrics. These
299
+ models were evaluated against a number of different categories relevant to
300
+ ethics and safety, including:
301
+
302
+ - **Child Safety**: Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text prompts
303
+ covering child safety policies, including child sexual abuse and
304
+ exploitation.
305
+ - **Content Safety:** Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text prompts
306
+ covering safety policies including, harassment, violence and gore, and hate
307
+ speech.
308
+ - **Representational Harms**: Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text
309
+ prompts covering safety policies including bias, stereotyping, and harmful
310
+ associations or inaccuracies.
311
+
312
+ In addition to development level evaluations, we conduct "assurance
313
+ evaluations" which are our 'arms-length' internal evaluations for responsibility
314
+ governance decision making. They are conducted separately from the model
315
+ development team, to inform decision making about release. High level findings
316
+ are fed back to the model team, but prompt sets are held-out to prevent
317
+ overfitting and preserve the results' ability to inform decision making.
318
+ Assurance evaluation results are reported to our Responsibility & Safety Council
319
+ as part of release review.
320
+
321
+ ### Evaluation Results
322
+
323
+ For all areas of safety testing, we saw major improvements in the categories of
324
+ child safety, content safety, and representational harms relative to previous
325
+ Gemma models. All testing was conducted without safety filters to evaluate the
326
+ model capabilities and behaviors. For both text-to-text and image-to-text, and
327
+ across all model sizes, the model produced minimal policy violations, and showed
328
+ significant improvements over previous Gemma models' performance with respect
329
+ to ungrounded inferences. A limitation of our evaluations was they included only
330
+ English language prompts.
331
+
332
+ ## Usage and Limitations
333
+
334
+ These models have certain limitations that users should be aware of.
335
+
336
+ ### Intended Usage
337
+
338
+ Open vision-language models (VLMs) models have a wide range of applications
339
+ across various industries and domains. The following list of potential uses is
340
+ not comprehensive. The purpose of this list is to provide contextual information
341
+ about the possible use-cases that the model creators considered as part of model
342
+ training and development.
343
+
344
+ - Content Creation and Communication
345
+ - Text Generation: These models can be used to generate creative text
346
+ formats such as poems, scripts, code, marketing copy, and email drafts.
347
+ - Chatbots and Conversational AI: Power conversational interfaces
348
+ for customer service, virtual assistants, or interactive applications.
349
+ - Text Summarization: Generate concise summaries of a text corpus,
350
+ research papers, or reports.
351
+ - Image Data Extraction: These models can be used to extract,
352
+ interpret, and summarize visual data for text communications.
353
+ - Research and Education
354
+ - Natural Language Processing (NLP) and VLM Research: These
355
+ models can serve as a foundation for researchers to experiment with VLM
356
+ and NLP techniques, develop algorithms, and contribute to the
357
+ advancement of the field.
358
+ - Language Learning Tools: Support interactive language learning
359
+ experiences, aiding in grammar correction or providing writing practice.
360
+ - Knowledge Exploration: Assist researchers in exploring large
361
+ bodies of text by generating summaries or answering questions about
362
+ specific topics.
363
+
364
+ ### Limitations
365
+
366
+ - Training Data
367
+ - The quality and diversity of the training data significantly
368
+ influence the model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data
369
+ can lead to limitations in the model's responses.
370
+ - The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas
371
+ the model can handle effectively.
372
+ - Context and Task Complexity
373
+ - Models are better at tasks that can be framed with clear
374
+ prompts and instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be
375
+ challenging.
376
+ - A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context
377
+ provided (longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a
378
+ certain point).
379
+ - Language Ambiguity and Nuance
380
+ - Natural language is inherently complex. Models might struggle
381
+ to grasp subtle nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
382
+ - Factual Accuracy
383
+ - Models generate responses based on information they learned
384
+ from their training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They
385
+ may generate incorrect or outdated factual statements.
386
+ - Common Sense
387
+ - Models rely on statistical patterns in language. They might
388
+ lack the ability to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.
389
+
390
+ ### Ethical Considerations and Risks
391
+
392
+ The development of vision-language models (VLMs) raises several ethical
393
+ concerns. In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:
394
+
395
+ - Bias and Fairness
396
+ - VLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text and image data can
397
+ reflect socio-cultural biases embedded in the training material. These
398
+ models underwent careful scrutiny, input data pre-processing described
399
+ and posterior evaluations reported in this card.
400
+ - Misinformation and Misuse
401
+ - VLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading,
402
+ or harmful.
403
+ - Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
404
+ [Responsible Generative AI Toolkit][rai-toolkit].
405
+ - Transparency and Accountability:
406
+ - This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
407
+ capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
408
+ - A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to
409
+ share innovation by making VLM technology accessible to developers and
410
+ researchers across the AI ecosystem.
411
+
412
+ Risks identified and mitigations:
413
+
414
+ - **Perpetuation of biases**: It's encouraged to perform continuous
415
+ monitoring (using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of
416
+ de-biasing techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use
417
+ cases.
418
+ - **Generation of harmful content**: Mechanisms and guidelines for content
419
+ safety are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and
420
+ implement appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific
421
+ product policies and application use cases.
422
+ - **Misuse for malicious purposes**: Technical limitations and developer
423
+ and end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of
424
+ VLMs. Educational resources and reporting mechanisms for users to flag
425
+ misuse are provided. Prohibited uses of Gemma models are outlined in the
426
+ [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy][prohibited-use].
427
+ - **Privacy violations**: Models were trained on data filtered for removal
428
+ of certain personal information and other sensitive data. Developers are
429
+ encouraged to adhere to privacy regulations with privacy-preserving
430
+ techniques.
431
+
432
+ ### Benefits
433
+
434
+ At the time of release, this family of models provides high-performance open
435
+ vision-language model implementations designed from the ground up for
436
+ responsible AI development compared to similarly sized models.
437
+
438
+ Using the benchmark evaluation metrics described in this document, these models
439
+ have shown to provide superior performance to other, comparably-sized open model
440
+ alternatives.
