## Tracked benchmark scores

| Benchmark | Score | Source | What it measures |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BullshitBench v2 | 3% | [BullshitBench](https://github.com/petergpt/bullshit-benchmark) | Given a confidently-worded but nonsensical prompt, does the AI spot that it makes no sense and push back — instead of playing along and inventing an answer? The score is how often it clearly called out the nonsense. Higher is better. |

## About Gemma 3

Gemma 3, released March 12, 2025, is Google's open-weight family distilled from Gemini technology, spanning roughly 1B to 27B parameters with vision support and a 128K context window on the larger sizes. Its design target was practical: state-of-the-art quality for a model that runs on a single GPU or TPU.

The 27B variant punched far above its weight on human-preference leaderboards, rivalling much larger open models, and the family's permissive terms and small-hardware footprint made it a staple for on-device and self-hosted deployments. Gemma 4 continued the line in April 2026.
