Gemma3 Function Calling

When using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model such as Gemma, you may want to use the model to operate programming interfaces in order to complete tasks or answer questions. Instructing a model by defining a programming interface and then making a request that uses that interface is called function calling. Important: A Gemma model cannot execute code on its own. When you generate code with function calling, you must run the generated code yourself or run it as part of your application. Always put safeguards in place to validate any generated code before executing it. Gemma does not output a tool specific token. Your framework must detect a tool call by checking if the structure of the output matches your prompted function output specification. You can use function calling for a number of applications: Create a natural language interface for a programming API to allow non-programmers to operate a programmatic interface without coding. for a programming API to allow non ...
