Google: Gemma 3 27B
The Google Gemma 3 27B model is a multimodal AI that can process both text and image inputs. It has a context length of 131,072 tokens and supports tools for tasks such as formatting and editing. Considering its pricing structure, the Google Gemma 3 27B may be worth shortlisting by users who require a balance between input cost ($0.08 per million tokens) and output cost ($0.45 per million tokens). Its blended benchmark score of 18.6 across three independent benchmarks suggests it performs moderately well in tasks that involve text processing, although its coverage in areas like reasoning and structured output is unproven.
