Gemini app/webGoogle SynthID text watermarking
Google DeepMind says text generated in the Gemini app and web experience is watermarked with SynthID by adjusting token probabilities.
Official explanationFrequently asked questions
Running locally
About 4.3 GB at Q4, 7.1 GB at Q8 and 13 GB at FP16, based on the 5.4B parameter count. All figures are estimates: weights plus about 15% and 0.5 GB for a short context.
Yes. A 24 GB and a 16 GB GPU fit at FP16 (estimated 13 GB), and a 12 GB and an 8 GB GPU fit at Q8 (estimated 7.1 GB).
Yes, at Q4 the estimated VRAM is 4.3 GB. Assuming macOS lets the GPU use about 75% of unified memory, the smallest common Mac memory size that fits Q4 is 8 GB (estimate).
Privacy and data
Yes, Gemma 3n E2B IT has open weights, so you can self-host it for full control of your data.
Capabilities and specs
The context window is 33K tokens (32,768), and the maximum output is 33K tokens (32,768).
Images and audio: yes. Video and PDFs: no. The input modalities are text, image and audio.
No, tool calling (function calling) is not supported.
No, a reasoning or thinking mode is not supported.
The knowledge cutoff is 2024-06.
Quality and benchmarks
ERNIE 4.5 0.3B and ERNIE 4.5 VL 28B A3B by Baidu, and DiffuCoder 7B by Apple. They were matched on model kind and release date, with no comparable price.
