I want to download this model for experimentation on my local device.

Hi @Najin06 ,
That's great! The Gemma 3 270M model is an excellent choice for local experimentation because of its small size.
please follow the below step by step instructions :
Set up environment :
First, make sure you have Python (>=3.8) installed, along with pip. Then, set up a virtual environment.Install Required Libraries :
Install Hugging Face Transformers and PyTorch (or TensorFlow)Download the Model :
Use the Hugging Face transformers library to load the model:
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_name = "google/gemma-3-270m"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
This will automatically download the model weights and tokenizer to your local machine.
- Run a Simple Inference :
input_text = "What is the capital of France?"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
For experimentation, consider enabling torch.no_grad() during inference to save memory.
Kindly follow this steps and let us know if you have any concerns will assist you on this.
Thank you.
