Gemma 4 26B A4B

gemma-4-26b-a4b-it

Gemma 4 26B A4B IT is an instruction-tuned Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Google DeepMind, featuring 25.2B total parameters with only 3.8B activated per token—delivering near 31B-class quality at a fraction of the compute cost. It supports multimodal inputs including text, images, and video (up to 60s at 1fps). The model includes a 256K token context window, native function calling, configurable thinking/reasoning modes, and structured output support. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, it is well suited for efficient, production-ready multimodal and agentic applications.

Gemini 4 Argon

Gemini 4 Argon is Google's flagship reasoning model, built for complex software engineering, deep mathematical and scientific problem solving, and autonomous multi-step agents. Google trained it to keep context across long, multi-step tasks and to turn long documents mixing text, tables, charts and images into a single grounded output. It leads the Vals Index across finance, legal, coding and tax work, and supports long decode of up to 1M output tokens in a single response.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image (Google Vertex AI)

Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image served from Google Vertex AI. Billed per image at US$0.0336. Call it through /v1/chat/completions with stream set to false; the image is returned in the message content as a base64 data URI. Maximum output resolution is 1K. A request for a larger size returns a 1K image with the same aspect ratio at the same price. When a size is reduced, the response carries an X-Image-Resolution-Capped header with the requested and delivered size.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (Google Vertex AI)

Gemini 3.1 Flash Image served from Google Vertex AI. Billed per image at US$0.067. Call it through /v1/chat/completions with stream set to false; the image is returned in the message content as a base64 data URI. Maximum output resolution is 2K. A request for a larger size, such as 4K or 4096x4096, returns a 2K image with the same aspect ratio at the same price. When a size is reduced, the response carries an X-Image-Resolution-Capped header with the requested and delivered size, for example 4096x4096->2048x2048.
