When does this happen?

IF Gemma3 is a multimodal model that may not be loadable with AutoModelForCausalLM in older Transformers versions.

How others solved it

THEN Use AutoModelForImageTextToText instead of AutoModelForCausalLM to load Gemma3, as it supports multimodal models.

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained('path/to/gemma3')
