Prompting tips for Gemma 3n 4B
- Be explicit and show the shape of the answer. Spell out format, tone and constraints up front, and include one short example of the output you want — Gemma 3n 4B follows concrete instructions better than abstract ones.
- Constrain JSON with a schema. Use
response_format/ structured outputs rather than "reply in JSON" to get valid, parseable objects every time. - Cheap enough to batch. Great for high-volume classification, extraction and drafting — template the prompt, batch requests, and validate outputs programmatically.
Tips are derived from Gemma 3n 4B's actual capabilities — context window, tool & JSON support, modality and price tier — not generic advice.

Migrating to Gemma 3n 4B
Coming from OpenAI or another gateway? On an OpenAI-compatible setup the only changes are base_url → https://api.datallmlab.com/v1 and model → google/gemma-3n-e4b-it. Messages, streaming and the rest of your code stay the same. Routing & failover guide.
Self-host or use the API?
Gemma 3n 4B ships open weights (google/gemma-3n-E4B-it, ~20.3K downloads and 918 likes in the last 30 days), so you can run it yourself. Most teams still use the API: no GPU to provision or keep warm, no inference ops, and instant access across 1 providers with automatic failover. Self-host when data residency or fixed per-token economics matter most.
Rate limits & reliability
Rate limits here are the DataLLM Lab gateway's, not the upstream vendor's. On 429 (rate limited) or 503 (provider busy), retry with exponential backoff. See the error-code guide and failover setup.
