+Summary description and brief definition of inputs and outputs.
+
+### Description
+
+Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models from Google,
+built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
+Gemma 3 models are multimodal, handling text and image input and generating text
+output, with open weights for both pre-trained variants and instruction-tuned
+variants. Gemma 3 has a large, 128K context window, multilingual support in over
+140 languages, and is available in more sizes than previous versions. Gemma 3
+models are well-suited for a variety of text generation and image understanding
+tasks, including question answering, summarization, and reasoning. Their
+relatively small size makes it possible to deploy them in environments with
+limited resources such as laptops, desktops or your own cloud infrastructure,
+democratizing access to state of the art AI models and helping foster innovation
+for everyone.
+
+### Inputs and outputs
+
+-   **Input:**
+    -  Text string, such as a question, a prompt, or a document to be summarized
+    -  Images, normalized to 896 x 896 resolution and encoded to 256 tokens
+       each, for the 4B, 12B, and 27B sizes.
+    -  Total input context of 128K tokens for the 4B, 12B, and 27B sizes, and
+       32K tokens for the 1B and 270M sizes.
+
+-   **Output:**
+    -   Generated text in response to the input, such as an answer to a
+        question, analysis of image content, or a summary of a document
+    -   Total output context up to 128K tokens for the 4B, 12B, and 27B sizes,
+        and 32K tokens for the 1B and 270M sizes per request, subtracting the
+        request input tokens

+
+## Model Data
+
+Data used for model training and how the data was processed.
+
+### Training Dataset
+
+These models were trained on a dataset of text data that includes a wide variety
+of sources. The 27B model was trained with 14 trillion tokens, the 12B model was
+trained with 12 trillion tokens, 4B model was trained with 4 trillion tokens,
+the 1B with 2 trillion tokens, and the 270M with 6 trillion tokens. The 
+knowledge cutoff date for the training data was August 2024. Here are the key 
+components:
+
+-   Web Documents: A diverse collection of web text ensures the model is
+    exposed to a broad range of linguistic styles, topics, and vocabulary. The
+    training dataset includes content in over 140 languages.
+-   Code: Exposing the model to code helps it to learn the syntax and
+    patterns of programming languages, which improves its ability to generate
+    code and understand code-related questions.
+-   Mathematics: Training on mathematical text helps the model learn logical
+    reasoning, symbolic representation, and to address mathematical queries.
+-   Images: A wide range of images enables the model to perform image
+    analysis and visual data extraction tasks.
+
+The combination of these diverse data sources is crucial for training a powerful
+multimodal model that can handle a wide variety of different tasks and data
+formats.
+
+### Data Preprocessing
+
+Here are the key data cleaning and filtering methods applied to the training
+data:
+
+-   CSAM Filtering: Rigorous CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) filtering
+    was applied at multiple stages in the data preparation process to ensure
+    the exclusion of harmful and illegal content.
+-   Sensitive Data Filtering: As part of making Gemma pre-trained models
+    safe and reliable, automated techniques were used to filter out certain
+    personal information and other sensitive data from training sets.
+-   Additional methods: Filtering based on content quality and safety in
+    line with [our policies][safety-policies].
+
+## Implementation Information
+
+Details about the model internals.
+
+### Hardware
+
+Gemma was trained using [Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)][tpu] hardware (TPUv4p,
+TPUv5p and TPUv5e). Training vision-language models (VLMS) requires significant
+computational power. TPUs, designed specifically for matrix operations common in
+machine learning, offer several advantages in this domain:
+
+-   Performance: TPUs are specifically designed to handle the massive
+    computations involved in training VLMs. They can speed up training
+    considerably compared to CPUs.
+-   Memory: TPUs often come with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory,
+    allowing for the handling of large models and batch sizes during training.
+    This can lead to better model quality.
+-   Scalability: TPU Pods (large clusters of TPUs) provide a scalable
+    solution for handling the growing complexity of large foundation models.
+    You can distribute training across multiple TPU devices for faster and more
+    efficient processing.
+-   Cost-effectiveness: In many scenarios, TPUs can provide a more
+    cost-effective solution for training large models compared to CPU-based
+    infrastructure, especially when considering the time and resources saved
+    due to faster training.
+-   These advantages are aligned with
+    [Google's commitments to operate sustainably][sustainability].
+
+### Software
+
+Training was done using [JAX][jax] and [ML Pathways][ml-pathways].
+
+JAX allows researchers to take advantage of the latest generation of hardware,
+including TPUs, for faster and more efficient training of large models. ML
+Pathways is Google's latest effort to build artificially intelligent systems
+capable of generalizing across multiple tasks. This is specially suitable for
+foundation models, including large language models like these ones.
+
+Together, JAX and ML Pathways are used as described in the
+[paper about the Gemini family of models][gemini-2-paper]; *"the 'single
+controller' programming model of Jax and Pathways allows a single Python
+process to orchestrate the entire training run, dramatically simplifying the
+development workflow."*
+
+## Evaluation
+
+Model evaluation metrics and results.
+
+### Benchmark Results
+
+These models were evaluated against a large collection of different datasets and
+metrics to cover different aspects of text generation. Evaluation results marked
+with **IT** are for instruction-tuned models. Evaluation results marked with
+**PT** are for pre-trained models.

+## Ethics and Safety
+
+Ethics and safety evaluation approach and results.
+
+### Evaluation Approach
+
+Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal red-teaming
+testing of relevant content policies. Red-teaming was conducted by a number of
+different teams, each with different goals and human evaluation metrics. These
+models were evaluated against a number of different categories relevant to
+ethics and safety, including:
+
+-   **Child Safety**: Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text prompts
+    covering child safety policies, including child sexual abuse and
+    exploitation.
+-   **Content Safety:** Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text prompts
+    covering safety policies including, harassment, violence and gore, and hate
+    speech.
+-   **Representational Harms**: Evaluation of text-to-text and image to text
+    prompts covering safety policies including bias, stereotyping, and harmful
+    associations or inaccuracies.
+
+In addition to development level evaluations, we conduct "assurance
+evaluations" which are our 'arms-length' internal evaluations for responsibility
+governance decision making. They are conducted separately from the model
+development team, to inform decision making about release. High level findings
+are fed back to the model team, but prompt sets are held-out to prevent
+overfitting and preserve the results' ability to inform decision making.
+Assurance evaluation results are reported to our Responsibility & Safety Council
+as part of release review.
+
+### Evaluation Results
+
+For all areas of safety testing, we saw major improvements in the categories of
+child safety, content safety, and representational harms relative to previous
+Gemma models. All testing was conducted without safety filters to evaluate the
+model capabilities and behaviors. For both text-to-text and image-to-text, and
+across all model sizes, the model produced minimal policy violations, and showed
+significant improvements over previous Gemma models' performance with respect
+to ungrounded inferences. A limitation of our evaluations was they included only
+English language prompts.
+
+## Usage and Limitations
+
+These models have certain limitations that users should be aware of.
+
+### Intended Usage
+
+Open vision-language models (VLMs) models have a wide range of applications
+across various industries and domains. The following list of potential uses is
+not comprehensive. The purpose of this list is to provide contextual information
+about the possible use-cases that the model creators considered as part of model
+training and development.
+
+-   Content Creation and Communication
+    -   Text Generation: These models can be used to generate creative text
+        formats such as poems, scripts, code, marketing copy, and email drafts.
+    -   Chatbots and Conversational AI: Power conversational interfaces
+        for customer service, virtual assistants, or interactive applications.
+    -   Text Summarization: Generate concise summaries of a text corpus,
+        research papers, or reports.
+    -   Image Data Extraction: These models can be used to extract,
+        interpret, and summarize visual data for text communications.
+-   Research and Education
+    -   Natural Language Processing (NLP) and VLM Research: These
+        models can serve as a foundation for researchers to experiment with VLM
+        and NLP techniques, develop algorithms, and contribute to the
+        advancement of the field.
+    -   Language Learning Tools: Support interactive language learning
+        experiences, aiding in grammar correction or providing writing practice.
+    -   Knowledge Exploration: Assist researchers in exploring large
+        bodies of text by generating summaries or answering questions about
+        specific topics.
+
+### Limitations
+
+-   Training Data
+    -   The quality and diversity of the training data significantly
+        influence the model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data
+        can lead to limitations in the model's responses.
+    -   The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas
+        the model can handle effectively.
+-   Context and Task Complexity
+    -   Models are better at tasks that can be framed with clear
+        prompts and instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be
+        challenging.
+    -   A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context
+        provided (longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a
+        certain point).
+-   Language Ambiguity and Nuance
+    -   Natural language is inherently complex. Models might struggle
+        to grasp subtle nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
+-   Factual Accuracy
+    -   Models generate responses based on information they learned
+        from their training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They
+        may generate incorrect or outdated factual statements.
+-   Common Sense
+    -   Models rely on statistical patterns in language. They might
+        lack the ability to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.
+
+### Ethical Considerations and Risks
+
+The development of vision-language models (VLMs) raises several ethical
+concerns. In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:
+
+-   Bias and Fairness
+    -   VLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text and image data can
+        reflect socio-cultural biases embedded in the training material. These
+        models underwent careful scrutiny, input data pre-processing described
+        and posterior evaluations reported in this card.
+-   Misinformation and Misuse
+    -   VLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading,
+        or harmful.
+    -   Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
+        [Responsible Generative AI Toolkit][rai-toolkit].
+-   Transparency and Accountability:
+    -   This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
+        capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
+    -   A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to
+        share innovation by making VLM technology accessible to developers and
+        researchers across the AI ecosystem.
+
+Risks identified and mitigations:
+
+-   **Perpetuation of biases**: It's encouraged to perform continuous
+    monitoring (using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of
+    de-biasing techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use
+    cases.
+-   **Generation of harmful content**: Mechanisms and guidelines for content
+    safety are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and
+    implement appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific
+    product policies and application use cases.
+-   **Misuse for malicious purposes**: Technical limitations and developer
+    and end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of
+    VLMs. Educational resources and reporting mechanisms for users to flag
+    misuse are provided. Prohibited uses of Gemma models are outlined in the
+    [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy][prohibited-use].
+-   **Privacy violations**: Models were trained on data filtered for removal
+    of certain personal information and other sensitive data. Developers are
+    encouraged to adhere to privacy regulations with privacy-preserving
+    techniques.
+
+### Benefits
+
+At the time of release, this family of models provides high-performance open
+vision-language model implementations designed from the ground up for
+responsible AI development compared to similarly sized models.
+
+Using the benchmark evaluation metrics described in this document, these models
+have shown to provide superior performance to other, comparably-sized open model
+alternatives.
