Google: Gemma 3 4B
Gemma 3 4B from Google is designed for handling text and image inputs with a context length of up to 131,072 tokens; however, it does not support reasoning or structured output. The model excels in generating detailed outputs but lacks tools integration. Given its blended benchmark score of 14.5 across three independent evaluations, Gemma 3 4B is suitable for users needing robust text and image processing capabilities. Its pricing at $0.05 per million input tokens and $0.1 per million output tokens makes it cost-effective for projects that require substantial text or image generation, especially considering its performance in the AI Index Coding benchmark.
