About

What gemma-3 is

This tiny model is for debugging. It is randomly initialized with the config adapted from google/gemma-3-27b-it.

Example usage:

from transformers import pipeline
model_id = "tiny-random/gemma-3"
pipe = pipeline(
    "image-text-to-text", model=model_id, device="cuda",
    trust_remote_code=True, max_new_tokens=3,
)
messages = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful assistant."}]
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    }
]
output = pipe(text=messages, max_new_tokens=5)
print(output)

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys tiny-random-gemma-3 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (tiny-random-gemma-3 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"tiny-random-gemma-3","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

Create an account — your API key is available in the console. 3M free tokens every 30 days with every new account.
