FunctionGemma 270M for Mobile Actions

This model is a fine-tuned version of google/functiongemma-270m-it specialized for mobile assistant actions. It has been trained on the google/mobile-actions dataset to perform structured function calling for common mobile device tasks.

Model Description

Base Model: google/functiongemma-270m-it - A 270M parameter instruction-tuned model from Google's FunctionGemma family, designed for function calling tasks.

Specialization: Mobile assistant actions including:

• Calendar event management
• Email composition and sending
• Contact creation
• Flashlight control
• Wi-Fi settings navigation
• Map location display

Training Objective: The model learns to emit structured function calls in the format call:<function_name>{arg1:value1,arg2:value2,...} instead of natural language responses.

Supported Functions

The model is optimized to call these mobile action functions:

1. turn_on_flashlight() - Turns the device flashlight on
2. turn_off_flashlight() - Turns the device flashlight off
3. create_contact(first_name, last_name, phone_number?, email?) - Creates a new contact
4. send_email(to, subject, body?) - Sends an email to a recipient
5. show_map(query) - Displays a location on the map by name, business, or address
6. open_wifi_settings() - Opens the Wi-Fi settings screen
7. create_calendar_event(title, datetime) - Creates a calendar event (datetime in ISO format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS)

Basic Inference

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, pipeline
import json

# Load model and tokenizer
model_id = "jprtr/google_mobile_actions"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

            "parameters": {

            },
        }
    },
    # ... add other function definitions
]

# Create messages
messages = [
    {
        "role": "developer",
        "content": (
            "Current date and time given in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS format: 2025-07-10T19:06:29\n"
            "Day of week is Thursday\n"
            "You are a model that can do function calling with the following functions\n"
        ),
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": 'Schedule a "team meeting" tomorrow at 4pm.',
    },

# Apply chat template

    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,

# Generate
output = pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=200)[0]["generated_text"][len(prompt):].strip()
print("Model output:", output)
# Example output: call:create_calendar_event{datetime:2025-07-11T16:00:00,title:team meeting}

Parsing Function Calls

The model outputs function calls in a simple format:

call:<function_name>{arg1:value1,arg2:value2,...}

For multiple function calls, they appear sequentially:

call:create_calendar_event{datetime:2025-07-15T10:30:00,title:Dental Checkup}
call:send_email{to:[email protected],subject:Appointment,body:See you there!}

You can parse these by:

1. Splitting on call: to identify individual function calls
2. Extracting the function name (text before {)
3. Parsing the arguments block (content within {})

Evaluation

The model was evaluated on the held-out test set from the mobile-actions dataset. Evaluation metrics compare exact string matching of the model's function call outputs against ground truth labels.

Key Observations:

• The base FunctionGemma 270M model often fails to call appropriate functions for mobile actions
• After fine-tuning, the model reliably generates correct function calls with proper argument formatting
• Token-level accuracy on the validation set: 99.67%

Limitations

• The model is specialized for the 7 mobile action functions listed above and may not generalize well to other function calling tasks
• Date/time parsing relies on context provided in the developer message (current date/time must be specified)
• The model outputs may occasionally include variations in argument formatting that are semantically correct but don't exactly match the expected format
• This is a 270M parameter model, so while efficient for mobile deployment, it may have lower accuracy than larger models

On-Device Deployment

The model can be converted to .litertlm format for on-device deployment using ai-edge-torch. See the training notebook for conversion instructions.

The converted model can be deployed on:

• Android devices via Google AI Edge
• AI Edge Gallery app
