Google introduces Gemma 3 1B for mobile apps

Google has launched Gemma 3 1B, a small language model designed for mobile and web apps. At 529MB, it downloads quickly and runs locally, ensuring user data privacy and minimal latency without needing an internet connection. Gemma 3 1B allows developers to integrate natural language features into their apps, such as generating content and supporting conversations. Google has provided tools, including a sample chat app for Android, to help developers implement the model. The new model outperforms its predecessor, Gemma 2 2B, while being only 20% of its size. It can run on mobile devices with at least 4GB of memory and is available for download from HuggingFace.
