Quick Start

model: "gemma-3",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "..." }]
});The GDPR Challenge
Gemma 3 represents Google's commitment to open AI development. The models are designed to be efficient and accessible, running on consumer hardware for smaller variants. Like Llama, Gemma can theoretically be self-hosted in EU, but most production deployments use cloud APIs. The models excel at instruction-following and structured tasks.
