About FunctionGemma
FunctionGemma is a 270M-parameter open model from Google, fine-tuned from Gemma 3 for function-calling and on-device tool use. Its tiny size allows it to run locally on phones, laptops, or edge hardware at near-instant latency, with full data privacy. It is designed for scenarios with a defined API surface — such as smart home control, navigation, or contact management — where natural language commands like 'Turn on the flashlight' need to be mapped to specific OS functions.
