+# Gemma 4: Fixing Ollama Web Search
+
+When using **Gemma 4** with the Ollama Web Search tool (or within wrappers like OpenWebUI), you might encounter an issue where the model attempts a search but then "sees nothing" or acts as if no query was submitted.
+
+This happens because Gemma 4 uses a strict structured token format (`<|tool_call|>` and `<|tool_response|>`) for tools. If Ollama's default prompt template doesn't explicitly instruct the model to use these tags or if it strips the returned results from the template, Gemma 4 will drop the context.
+
+## Solution
+
+We have provided a custom `Modelfile` that injects the required structured tags into the system template, ensuring web search payloads are correctly returned to Gemma.
+
+### Usage
+
+1. Build the custom model locally:
+```bash
+ollama create gemma4-search-fixed -f Modelfile
+```
+
+2. Run it with the web search tool:
+```bash
+ollama run gemma4-search-fixed
+```
+
+3. (If using OpenWebUI): Select `gemma4-search-fixed` as your default model and enable the Web Search toggle. The tool results will now be correctly interpreted by Gemma.

+# Gemma 4 Concurrent on NVIDIA DGX Spark Clusters
+
+This guide demonstrates how to adapt the macOS/local `apps/concurrent` orchestrator to run distributed concurrent Gemma 4 agents across a multi-node NVIDIA DGX Spark cluster. 
+
+## Architectural Overview
+
+DGX clusters typically feature high-speed ring topologies (e.g., connected via 2x 200 Gbps CX-7 cables) and NVLink for ultra-fast inter-GPU and inter-node communication.
+
+To scale the "Specialist Agent" pattern:
+1. **The Orchestrator (Spark Driver)**: Uses Gemma to plan the tasks.
+2. **The Specialists (Spark Executors)**: We replace local `subprocess` terminals with Spark partitions using `mapInPandas`.
+3. **The LLM Backend (vLLM / TensorRT-LLM)**: We run an inference engine on each DGX node that binds to the local GPUs via NCCL/NVLink.
+
+### Network Topology Consideration
+Because DGX nodes are connected via CX-7 rings, we can maximize throughput by:
+- **Data Parallelism**: Spawning one vLLM server per node, with PySpark mapping rows to `localhost:8000` on the executor.
+- **Pipeline/Tensor Parallelism**: Utilizing Ray on Spark or Spark DL to shard a single massive Gemma 4 model across the DGX nodes using the CX-7 interconnects.
+
+## Quick Start
+Run the PySpark adaptation provided in `spark_orchestrator.py`.
+
+```bash
+# Submit to Spark cluster
+spark-submit \
+    --master spark://<master-ip>:7077 \
+    --executor-memory 128G \
+    --executor-cores 8 \
+    spark_orchestrator.py --scenario translate --topic "Scaling Gemma 4 with Spark"
+```
