Google launches Gemma 3, the next in the league of lightweight and open-source Gen-AI models, built on the same research and technology as Gemini 2.0 models. It is Google’s most advanced, portable, and responsibly developed model, helping developers in creating AI models anywhere, anytime. The newly launched open model comes in a range of sizes, ranging from 1B, 4B, 12B to 27B.

The varied availability of the model allows developers to choose the best suited to their needs. It delivers state-of-the-art performance for its size, outperforming Llama-405B, DeepSeek-V3, and o3-mini in preliminary human preference evaluations on LMArena’s leaderboard. This helps you in creating engaging user experiences that can fit on a single GPU or TPU host.

Supports 140 languages

It will now become easier to develop AI-based applications that support many native languages. It offers out-of-the-box support for over 35 languages and pretrained support for over 140 languages. This makes the AI approach more democratic and liberal, as it now encompasses many untouched zones.

Direct NVIDIA’s Optimization 

NVIDIA has meticulously optimized its latest models to deliver peak performance across a wide range of GPU architectures, from the compact Jetson Nano to the cutting-edge Blackwell series. This optimization ensures seamless efficiency, scalability, and superior computational power, regardless of the hardware being utilized. By streamlining the development process, NVIDIA continues to empower AI practitioners, researchers, and businesses with high-performance solutions tailored for diverse computing needs.

Safety First 

Alongside Gemma 3, Google has also launched ShieldGemma 2, a powerful 4B image safety checker built on the Gemma 3 foundation. ShieldGemma 2 provides a ready-made solution for image safety, outputting safety labels across three safety categories: dangerous content, sexually explicit, and violence. Developers can further customize ShieldGemma for their safety needs and users.
