Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview and Gemma3:1b/27b, Big Difference in Output for same task definition

[hasanfarag199]

Hi All,

I am experimenting with crew ai for Industry Intelligence reporting with the below agents and tasks definitions, the results sounds satifsfactory using Gemini 2.5 Flash [ev_report.pdf)] but quite short for Gemma3:1b [report.pdf] where not stick to requirements in tasks expected outputs, I know that Gemma3 is much smaller model but is there a way to enhance the output of crew using it since it is free and small model suitable for hosting? Is this limitation of model or there a way to tweak crew tasks and agents design to get the similar result using smaller models? Noting: I tried to divide the tasks to 5 ones and 5 agents for more specialized and better suited to context windows of llms as mentioned in article guide for crafting good agents but still the results are quite short! I have also tried qa agent but still not better results, the last thing to try is task guardrails!
