Introducing Gemma 3n: Google's revolutionary offline AI model
Google just launched Gemma 3n, a lightweight AI model that can handle audio, video, images, and text right on your device—no internet needed.
It runs smoothly on phones or edge gadgets with just 2-3GB RAM, supports over 140 languages, and can understand content in 35 languages.
Efficient architecture and real-time processing capabilities
Gemma 3n uses a smart MatFormer architecture to keep things fast and efficient, featuring scalable parameters.
Features like Per-Layer Embedding caching and KV Cache Sharing help it process long videos or audio without lag.
For speech tasks, it taps into Google's Universal Speech Model; for real-time video (up to 60fps), it uses MobileNet-V5—so even Pixel phones can keep up.
Get started on Google AI Studio
Gemma 3n is free for commercial use and there's a $150,000 prize pool up for grabs if you build something cool with it.
Compared to bigger cloud-based models like Gemma 3, this one is much lighter on memory and power.
Plus, you can get started easily using Hugging Face or Google AI Studio.
