Strengths

  • Fenêtre de contexte de 131K et capacité de sortie maximale de 16K tokens (GPQA Diamond 61% · MMLU-Pro 78%)
  • Débit rapide de 105 tokens/seconde avec une latence au premier token (TTFT) de 320 ms
  • Poids ouverts (1B / 4B / 12B / 27B) permettant un déploiement sur site ou cloud privé via vLLM, SGLang ou Ollama

Limitations & Trade-offs

  • Nécessite des serveurs GPU dotés de suffisamment de mémoire VRAM pour l’inférence locale à pleine précision
  • Sur les problèmes de recherche fondamentale très complexes, les modèles de raisonnement lourd restent supérieurs

Editorial Assessment

Alliant un indice d’intelligence de 68/100, un contexte de 131K et un débit de 105 tok/s, Gemma 3 s’impose comme une valeur sûre de la gamme Google.

Best for: Conçu pour la compréhension multimodale native (texte, vision) et l’analyse de documents complexes, l’intégration RAG et les pipelines de production évolutifs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gemma 3

How much does the Gemma 3 API cost per 1M tokens?+

Gemma 3 by Google is priced at $0 per 1M input tokens and $0 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 0% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the Gemma 3 pay-as-you-go API?+

A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.

How many words and pages fit in Gemma 3's context window?+

Gemma 3 features a 131K tokens context window, which equals approximately 98,304 English words or ~262 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 16,384 tokens.

Can I run Gemma 3 locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, Gemma 3 (1B / 4B / 12B / 27B) releases open weights that can be self-hosted locally or on private cloud GPUs using vLLM, Ollama, SGLang, or llama.cpp.

Does Google train on data sent to the Gemma 3 API, and is commercial use allowed?+

100% Isolated when self-hosted on private GPUs or VPC. License tier: Open-Weights Research & Commercial License. Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: Self-Hosted GPU (vLLM / Ollama), Private VPC, or Managed Serverless API.

How does Gemma 3 perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+

Gemma 3 achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 68/100, scoring N/A% on SWE-bench Verified, 61% on GPQA Diamond, 78% on MMLU-Pro, and 1335 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.

What is Gemma 3 best used for?+

Gemma 3 is best suited for: Conçu pour la compréhension multimodale native (texte, vision) et l’analyse de documents complexes, l’intégration RAG et les pipelines de production évolutifs.. Assessment: Alliant un indice d’intelligence de 68/100, un contexte de 131K et un débit de 105 tok/s, Gemma 3 s’impose comme une valeur sûre de la gamme Google.
