Gemma 4 26B A4B

Gemma 4 26B A4B is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) open model from Google DeepMind, built from the same research as Gemini 3. It has 26B total parameters but activates only 3.8B per forward pass, delivering near-31B-dense quality at a fraction of the compute cost. The model supports a 256K token context window, multimodal image and text input, built-in step-by-step reasoning (thinking mode), and native function calling for agentic workflows. It currently ranks #6 among open models on the Arena AI text leaderboard with an estimated LMArena score of 1441 — competitive with models many times its active size. It excels at reasoning, coding, long-context tasks, and structured tool use. It's a strong pick for developers who need high throughput and low latency without sacrificing capability.

Gemma 4 31B

Gemma 4 31B is a dense multimodal model from Google DeepMind, built on the same research foundation as Gemini 3. It is the most capable model in the Gemma 4 family, accepting text, image, and video input with a 256K-token context window. It delivers strong benchmark results: 89.2% on AIME 2026, 85.2% on MMLU Pro, 80.0% on LiveCodeBench v6, and 84.3% on GPQA Diamond. On the Arena AI text leaderboard, it ranks as the #3 open model globally, outperforming many models with far higher parameter counts. Gemma 4 31B features native function calling trained into the model, configurable chain-of-thought reasoning, and structured JSON output — making it especially well-suited for agentic workflows, coding tasks, and multi-turn tool use. It supports over 140 languages and serves as a strong foundation for fine-tuning.

 Video

Veo 3.1 Lite

Veo 3.1 Lite is Google DeepMind's most cost-effective video generation model, built for high-volume applications where per-clip cost is a primary concern. It generates video at the same speed as Veo 3.1 Fast but at less than half the price — starting at $0.05 per second for 720p. The model supports text-to-video and image-to-video with 720p and 1080p output in landscape (16:9) or portrait (9:16), at configurable durations of 4, 6, or 8 seconds. It does not support 4K output, scene extension, or native audio generation — clips are silent by default. Veo 3.1 Lite is ideal for developers building batch video pipelines, social media automation, or interactive tools where cost per generation matters most and audio can be added in post-production.
