Gemma 3n includes the following key features:

Audio input: Process sound data for speech recognition, translation, and audio data analysis.

Visual and text input: Multimodal capabilities let you handle vision, sound, and text to help you understand and analyze the world around you.

PLE caching: Per-Layer Embedding (PLE) parameters contained in these models can be cached to fast, local storage to reduce model memory run costs. Learn more

MatFormer architecture: Matryoshka Transformer architecture allows for selective activation of the models parameters per request to reduce compute cost and response times. Learn more

Conditional parameter loading: Bypass loading of vision and audio parameters in the model to reduce the total number of loaded parameters and save memory resources. Learn more

Wide language support: Wide linguistic capabilities, trained in over 140 languages. 32K token context: Substantial input context for analyzing data and handling processing tasks.

Hmm, what's the big news here? Isn't that just a new example app for the mediapipe framework? I believe that was already available a year ago in May 2024 and could do LLM inference and image tasks back then?!

And in addition to that, it seems to be quite slow. It doesn't use any acceleration on my Pixel phone, just uses the CPU to output like 6-8T/s for the 3b model...
