Hey folks, I'm on the Gemma team, we released new model(s) just recently, and I saw many questions here about function calling. We just published the docs to detail this more. In short Gemma3's prompted instruction following is quite good for the larger models and that's how you use the feature.

You don't need to take our word for it! We were waiting for an external and independent validation from the Berkeley team, and they just published their results. You can use their metrics to get a rough sense of performance, and of course try it out yourself in AIstudio or locally with your own prompts.

Hope you all enjoy the models!

Thanks, Gemma is fantastic and that it supports function calling is great.
