# πŸ€– Gemma TFLite Models for Android Demos
This repository hosts quantized TensorFlow Lite (`.tflite`) versions of Google's Gemma models, specifically for use in Android sample applications, hackathons, and educational projects.
The goal is to provide a frictionless, anonymous download path for on-device integration without requiring app users to log in or developers to embed secret API keys.
## πŸ€” Why This Repository Exists
The original Gemma models are created by Google and are officially hosted on platforms like [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/models/google/gemma-3n) and the [official Google Hugging Face account](https://huggingface.co/google).
These official repositories are often **"gated,"** meaning they require a user to be logged in and to have explicitly accepted the license terms before a download can start. This is a necessary compliance step for Google to ensure users agree to their Responsible AI terms.
However, this authentication requirement prevents direct, anonymous downloads from within a mobile application and would create a poor user experience (e.g., asking an app user to log in to a developer service).
This repository acts as a public, non-gated mirror. The models are redistributed here under the permissions granted by their **Apache 2.0 License**. This allows mobile demo apps to fetch the model file via a direct URL without any user-side authentication, while still respecting the original license terms.
## πŸ“± Intended Use
The models here are intended for developers who need to quickly integrate a Gemma model into an Android application for demonstration or prototyping purposes.
They can be downloaded directly within an app using Android's `DownloadManager` or a networking library like OkHttp, providing a seamless "first-run" experience for the end-user.
