Model Size and Deployment Options

Modern deployment environments benefit from Gemma models' flexibility across various computational requirements:

Small Models (0.6B-4B)

Gemma provides efficient small models suitable for edge deployment, mobile applications, and resource-constrained environments while maintaining impressive capabilities. The 1B model is ideal for small applications, while the 4B model offers balanced performance and flexibility with multimodal support.

Medium Models (8B-14B)

Mid-range models offer enhanced capabilities for professional applications, providing excellent balance between performance and computational requirements for workstation and server deployment.

Large Models (27B+)

Full-scale models deliver state-of-the-art performance for demanding applications, research, and enterprise deployments requiring maximum capability. The 27B model represents the most capable option that can still run on a single GPU.

Mobile-Optimized Models (Gemma 3n)

Gemma 3n E2B and E4B models are specifically engineered for mobile and edge deployment, with effective parameter counts of 2B and 4B respectively, while using innovative architecture to minimize memory footprint to as little as 2GB for E2B and 3GB for E4B.
