google/gemma-3-270m-it — MobileTransformers package

On-device (Android) package exported from google/gemma-3-270m-it with MobileTransformers.

What this package can do

• core — shared files every other group needs
• inference — generate or score on device
• train — fine-tune on device, then merge the adapter back into the base weights

Fine-tuning method

• mars — MARS (Multi-Adapter Rank Sharing) — this project's own method: adapters shared across layers, so parameter count grows with rank rather than with depth.
• Rank: 8
• Adapted modules: q_proj, v_proj

Provenance

• Base model: google/gemma-3-270m-it
• Selected task: text-generation-with-past
• Quantization: int4
• Toolchain: optimum-onnx 0.1.0, transformers 4.57.6, ort-training 1.23.0+cpu

Licenses

• Framework: not declared in this package — see the repository
• Base model weights: see the base model above (this package redistributes an export of those weights, so their terms govern its contents)

Android runtime

• Minimum API: 28
• Required ABIs: any

Running this model

This is a MobileTransformers package, not a plain Hugging Face model: it is a manifest plus per-variant ONNX stages and a weight-handoff map. transformers, optimum and plain onnxruntime cannot load it. Use the framework:

https://github.com/martinkorelic/mobiletransformers

// Android — pulls, verifies and installs on first use.
val model = MobileTransformers.fromPretrained(
    context = context,
    repoId  = "mobiletransformers/gemma-3-270m-it",
)

# Host — download and inspect the package without a device.
mobiletransformers pull --repo-id mobiletransformers/gemma-3-270m-it
