-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.
-
