# Gemma 3

[Gemma 3](https://huggingface.co/papers/2503.19786) is a multimodal model with pretrained and instruction-tuned variants, available in 1B, 13B, and 27B parameters. The architecture is mostly the same as the previous Gemma versions. The key differences are alternating 5 local sliding window self-attention layers for every global self-attention layer, support for a longer context length of 128K tokens, and a [SigLip](./siglip) encoder that can "pan & scan" high-resolution images to prevent information from disappearing in high resolution images or images with non-square aspect ratios.

The instruction-tuned variant was post-trained with knowledge distillation and reinforcement learning.

You can find all the original Gemma 3 checkpoints under the [Gemma 3](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/gemma-3-release-67c6c6f89c4f76621268bb6d) release.

The example below demonstrates how to generate text based on an image with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline) or the [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel) class.

```python
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="image-text-to-text",
    model="google/gemma-3-4b-pt",
    device=0,
)
pipeline(
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg",
    text="<start_of_image> What is shown in this image?"
)
```

```python
from transformers import AutoProcessor, Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration

model = Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "google/gemma-3-4b-it",
    device_map="auto",
    attn_implementation="sdpa"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "google/gemma-3-4b-it",
    padding_side="left"
)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful assistant."}
        ]
    },
    {
        "role": "user", "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
    add_generation_prompt=True,
).to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50, cache_implementation="static")
print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [torchao](../quantization/torchao) to only quantize the weights to int4.

```python
# pip install torchao
from transformers import AutoProcessor, Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration, TorchAoConfig

quantization_config = TorchAoConfig("int4_weight_only", group_size=128)
model = Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "google/gemma-3-27b-it",
    device_map="auto",
    quantization_config=quantization_config
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "google/gemma-3-27b-it",
    padding_side="left"
)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful assistant."}
        ]
    },
    {
        "role": "user", "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
    add_generation_prompt=True,
).to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50, cache_implementation="static")
print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

Use the [AttentionMaskVisualizer](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/beb9b5b02246b9b7ee81ddf938f93f44cfeaad19/src/transformers/utils/attention_visualizer.py#L139) to better understand what tokens the model can and cannot attend to.

```python
from transformers.utils.attention_visualizer import AttentionMaskVisualizer

visualizer = AttentionMaskVisualizer("google/gemma-3-4b-it")
visualizer("<img>What is shown in this image?")
```

    

## Notes

- Use [Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/gemma3#transformers.Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration) for image-and-text and image-only inputs.
- Gemma 3 supports multiple input images, but make sure the images are correctly batched before passing them to the processor. Each batch should be a list of one or more images.

    ```py
    url_cow = "https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1192867753/photo/cow-in-berchida-beach-siniscola.jpg?s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=v0hjjniwsMNfJSuKWZuIn8pssmD5h5bSN1peBd1CmH4="
    url_cat = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"

    messages =[
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful assistant."}
            ]
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "image", "url": url_cow},
                {"type": "image", "url": url_cat},
                {"type": "text", "text": "Which image is cuter?"},
            ]
        },
    ]
    ```

- Text passed to the processor should have a `<start_of_image>` token wherever an image should be inserted.
- The processor has its own [apply_chat_template()](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/processors#transformers.ProcessorMixin.apply_chat_template) method to convert chat messages to model inputs.
- By default, images aren't cropped and only the base image is forwarded to the model. In high resolution images or images with non-square aspect ratios, artifacts can result because the vision encoder uses a fixed resolution of 896x896. To prevent these artifacts and improve performance during inference, set `do_pan_and_scan=True` to crop the image into multiple smaller patches and concatenate them with the base image embedding. You can disable pan and scan for faster inference.

    ```diff
    inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
        messages,
        tokenize=True,
        return_dict=True,
        return_tensors="pt",
        add_generation_prompt=True,
    +   do_pan_and_scan=True,
        ).to(model.device)
    ```

- For Gemma-3 1B checkpoint trained in text-only mode, use [AutoModelForCausalLM](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM) instead.

    ```py
    import torch
    from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
        "google/gemma-3-1b-pt",
    )
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
        "google/gemma-3-1b-pt",
        device_map="auto",
        attn_implementation="sdpa"
    )
    input_ids = tokenizer("Plants create energy through a process known as", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

    output = model.generate(**input_ids, cache_implementation="static")
    print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
    ```

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information.

```python
>>> from transformers import Gemma3TextModel, Gemma3TextConfig
>>> # Initializing a Gemma3Text gemma3_text-7b style configuration

The bare Gemma3 Text Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on to.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the

The Base Gemma3 model which consists of a vision backbone and a language model without language modeling head.,

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and
  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details.

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **pixel_values** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size)`, *optional*) --
  The tensors corresponding to the input images. Pixel values can be obtained using
  [Gemma3ImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/gemma3#transformers.Gemma3ImageProcessor). See `Gemma3ImageProcessor.__call__()` for details ([Gemma3Processor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/gemma3#transformers.Gemma3Processor) uses
  [Gemma3ImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/gemma3#transformers.Gemma3ImageProcessor) for processing images).
- **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **position_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`.

  [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/main/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **token_type_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Segment token indices to indicate first and second portions of the inputs. Indices are selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 0 corresponds to a *sentence A* token,
  - 1 corresponds to a *sentence B* token.

  [What are token type IDs?](../glossary#token-type-ids)
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ...,
  config.text_config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored
  (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.text_config.vocab_size]`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **logits_to_keep** (`Union[int, torch.Tensor]`, *optional*, defaults to `0`) --
  If an `int`, compute logits for the last `logits_to_keep` tokens. If `0`, calculate logits for all
  `input_ids` (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that
  token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size.
  If a `torch.Tensor`, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension.
  This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).0`Gemma3CausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A `Gemma3CausalLMOutputWithPast` or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various

The [Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration](/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/gemma3#transformers.Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction).
- **logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.text_config.vocab_size)`) -- Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).

past_key_values (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) : Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding.

labels (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size,)`, *optional*) : Labels for computing the sequence classification/regression loss. Indices should be in `[0, ..., config.num_labels - 1]`. If `config.num_labels == 1` a regression loss is computed (Mean-Square loss), If `config.num_labels > 1` a classification loss is computed (Cross-Entropy).

use_cache (`bool`, *optional*) : If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see `past_key_values`).

**Returns:**

``SequenceClassifierOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)``

A `SequenceClassifierOutputWithPast` or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various

The `GenericForSequenceClassification` forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.
