It's based on Gemma 3n, and it's not the best.
I find it works fine for simple classification, translation, interpretation of images & audio. It can write longer prose, but it's pretty bad.
It can also write text in the format of a JSON schema or regexp for anything you might want to do with structured data.
I wonder why they’re using Gemma 3 and not Gemma 4?
Google has been trialling the Prompt API in chrome for the over a year, so before Gemma 4 existed. But they are indicating they'll move to Gemma 4: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/iR6R7...
So that the big news in non-tech news sites will be the update. Thus ensuring that this is received in a positive light.
It'll probably update to that without telling you at some point.
