Capabilities, design details, and architectural traits

Gemma 3 27B - Multimodal Open-Weights Model

Gemma 3 27B is a multimodal open-weights model in Google's Gemma 3 family, accepting text and image input and generating text output. It was trained on 14 trillion tokens and supports a 128K context window with multilingual coverage across over 140 languages.

TraitDetail
Training tokens14 trillion
SigLIP vision encoderShared frozen SigLIP encoder; processes images as 256 compact soft tokens via MultiModalProjector
Pan and Scan image handlingAdaptively crops non-square or high-resolution images into 896x896 tiles for improved document and text-in-image tasks
Context window128K tokens; achieved by scaling from 32K pre-training via RoPE rescaling with a base frequency of 1M on global attention layers

Gemma 3 27B as the Foundation for MedGemma 27B

The Gemma 3 27B multimodal architecture serves as the base model for MedGemma 27B, Google's open medical AI model designed for health AI development. This makes the 27B size the specific Gemma 3 variant chosen for specialized downstream medical fine-tuning in Google's own research ecosystem.
