Model Card
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.

Gemini 3.7 Flash
Gemini 3.7 Flash is Google's workhorse Flash-tier model, released August 13, 2026, three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash. It's built for coding and agentic workflows, targeting software engineering, web development, and knowledge-dense domains like finance and law. Google reports gains over Gemini 3.6 Flash on several benchmarks. DeepSWE v1.1 rose from 49.0% to 65.3%, FrontierCode 1.1 from 34.4% to 43.6%, and AutomationBench from 17.0% to 30.4%. On FrontierCode 1.1 it scores above Claude Sonnet 5 (42.7%) and GPT-5.6 Terra (41.3%), though GPT-5.6 Terra edges it out on Terminal-bench 2.1 (87.4% vs 85.8%). It accepts text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window and 64K token output limit. It supports function calling, search as a tool, and computer use, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff. It's priced at roughly half of Gemini 3.6 Flash's rate, fitting teams running coding agents or high-volume document processing.
ChatGemini 3.5 Flash-Lite
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is Google's fastest and most cost-efficient model in the Gemini 3.5 series, built for high-throughput, low-latency workloads. It scores 54% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 72.2% on GDM-MRCR v2, up from 31% and 60.1% for Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. It also outperforms the larger Gemini 3 Flash on SWE-Bench Pro (54.2% vs. 49.6%) and OSWorld-Verified (74.0% vs. 65.1%), while generating output at roughly 350 tokens per second. It supports text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window, configurable thinking levels, and function calling, including computer use as a built-in tool. It's suited for agentic search, document processing, and other high-volume tasks where throughput and cost matter more than maximum reasoning depth.
ChatGemini 3.6 Flash
Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google's workhorse Flash-tier model, released as the successor to Gemini 3.5 Flash. It's built for running AI agents in production, with improvements in coding precision, computer use, and multimodal understanding. In Google's own benchmarks, it scores 83.0% on OSWorld-Verified (up from 78.4% for 3.5 Flash), 49% on DeepSWE (up from 37%), 63.9% on MLE-Bench (up from 49.7%), and 58.7% on SWE-Bench Pro. It also produces 17% fewer output tokens than 3.5 Flash on comparable tasks. It accepts text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window, supports function calling and a built-in computer-use tool, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff. At $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens, it's well under 3.5 Flash's $1.50 and $9.00 rates.
