Im happy for the Gemma enjoyers who get something out of it. I hear the real world domain knowledge is good. I never tried the Gemma models myself. Apparently its very overly censored and anything google puts out just gives me the icky feeling through association. Anyone remember when they still had "Don't Be Evil" as a motto? Good times.

Yeah, I try to avoid anything with Google attached to it. I have been curious about Gemma 3, though.
I tested these out and found they are really bad at longer context... at least in settings that can sanely fit on most GPUs.
Seems the Gemma family is mostly for short-context work, still.
Im especially interested in its advanced OCR capabilities. Will be testing this one out on lm studio
