This model is a fine-tuned derivative of Gemma 3, licensed under the Gemma Terms
of Use. The original model is available from Google at
https://deepmind.google/models/gemma/gemma-3/. Modifications, fine-tuning, and
subsequent derivative works are distributed under the NB-license. The original
Gemma Terms of Use notices, disclaimers, attribution, and use restrictions
remain fully intact and are provided at https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms. The

- "Output" means the results of operating a Model as embodied in informational
content resulting therefrom.

- "Model" means any accompanying machine-learning based assemblies (including
checkpoints), consisting of learnt weights, parameters (including optimizer
states), corresponding to the model architecture as embodied in the
Complementary Material, that have been trained or tuned, in whole or in part on
the Data, using the Complementary Material.

- "Derivatives of the Model" means all modifications to the Model, works based
on the Model, or any other model which is created or initialized by transfer of
patterns of the weights, parameters, activations or output of the Model, to the
other model, in order to cause the other model to perform similarly to the
Model, including - but not limited to - distillation methods entailing the use
of intermediate data representations or methods based on the generation of
synthetic data by the Model for training the other model.

- "Complementary Material" means the accompanying source code and scripts used
to define, run, load, benchmark or evaluate the Model, and used to prepare data
for training or evaluation, if any. This includes any accompanying
documentation, tutorials, examples, etc, if any.

- "Distribution" means any transmission, reproduction, publication or other
sharing of the Model or Derivatives of the Model to a third party, including
providing the Model as a hosted service made available by electronic or other
remote means - e.g. API-based or web access.

- “Use” includes accessing and utilizing a Model or Derivates of a Model,  which
may also include creating content, fine-tuning, updating, running, training,
evaluating and/or re-parametrizing such Model or Derivates of a Model.

- "Contribution" means any work of authorship, including the original version of
the Model and any modifications or additions to that Model or Derivatives of the
Model thereof, that is intentionally submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the
Model.

model.

3. Redistribution

You may reproduce and distribute copies of the model or derivatives of the model
in any medium, with or without modifications, provided that You meet the
following conditions: (a) You must give any other recipients of the model or
derivatives of the model a copy of this License; and (b) You must retain all
