About

Gemma 3 1B PT is the pre-trained-variant record for Google's smallest Gemma 3 model - a lightweight, open transformer (1B parameters, dense) built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models, released February 27, 2025 under the Gemma Terms of Use. The underlying google/gemma-3-1b repository is access-gated; this record carries the pre-training (PT) benchmark scores for the 1B model.

The 1B model was trained on 2 trillion tokens of web documents, code, mathematics and images, with a smaller 32K context window and multilingual support in over 140 languages. Its architecture interleaves local sliding-window and global attention layers in a 5:1 local-global pattern and applies QK-Norm for stable attention.
