Initial Support for Google's Gemma 3 27B Models Now Live on Featherless.ai!

Gemma 3 27B model support and updates

We're thrilled to announce that we've added initial support for Google's Gemma 3 27B models to the Featherless.ai serverless inference platform! After dedicated work from our team, both the instruct-tuned and pre-trained versions of the 27B parameter model are now active and ready for use.

This marks the first step in bringing Gemma 3, Google's latest state-of-the-art open model family, to our users. We plan to start onboarding fine-tuned versions of Gemma 3 27B over the next week.

Gemma 3 27B on Featherless.ai: Powerful Inference Without the Complexity

Access the impressive performance of Gemma 3 27B through our simple serverless API, letting you focus on building great applications instead of managing infrastructure. Built on the same research and technology behind Google's Gemini models, Gemma 3 27B delivers cutting-edge AI capabilities with just an API call.

Technical Updates & What's Next

Alongside this model release, we've also pulled in the latest version of vLLM. This foundational update means exciting features like tool calling, custom grammar support, and vision pipelines for Gemma are now solidly on our roadmap (and perhaps even closer than expected!). A big shoutout to our dedicated Inference team members for making these advancements possible!

The Growing Spectrum of Open Models on Featherless.ai

With the addition of Gemma 3 27B, our platform continues to offer a diverse range of powerful open models:

  • DeepSeek-R1: Pushing the boundaries of reasoning with 671B parameters.

  • Qwerky-72B: Built on the efficient RWKV architecture (sub-quadratic scaling) designed for significantly reduced inference costs (VRAM and compute).

  • QwQ-32B: Strong reasoning in an efficient 32B parameter package.

  • Gemma 3 27B: Google's latest advancements available in a powerful 27B model.

This selection provides developers with significant choice in matching model capabilities to their specific application needs.
