Automated excerpt
In this article, I take the same agent and replace Gemini with Gemma 4 running locally via Docker Model Runner. Keep Docker Desktop updated — Older Model Runner versions can't load newer model architectures. Same Gemma 4 via Docker Model Runner, same BigQuery MCP tools, same system instructions — only the agent framework changes.
