What are you using to run it? I haven't got image input working yet myself.
./build/bin/llama-gemma3-cli -m /discs/fast/ai/gemma-3-27b-it-q4_0.gguf --mmproj /discs/fast/ai/mmproj-model-f16-27B.gguf -p "Describe this image." --image ~/Downloads/surprise.png
Note the 2nd gguf in there - I'm not sure, but I think that's for encoding the image.
