Summary

The Gemma 4 Technical Report introduces a new generation of open-weight, natively multimodal language models with diverse architectures, enhanced reasoning capabilities, and improved performance across tasks. The models range from 2.3B to 31B parameters and feature a thinking mode for generating reasoning traces.

We introduce Gemma 4, a new generation of open-weight, natively multimodal language models in the Gemma model family. Designed to advance compute efficiency and reasoning, the Gemma 4 model suite features dense and Mixture-of-Experts architectures, ranging from 2.3B to 31B parameters. Alongside improved vision and audio encoders for all model sizes, we propose a unified, encoder-free architecture for our 12B model, which ingests raw audio and image patches. Furthermore, we integrate a thinking mode, enabling Gemma models to generate reasoning traces prior to responding. We improve inference speed, memory, and compute efficiency, as well as long-context abilities through critical design choices. Gemma 4 establishes a leap in performance across STEM, multimodal, and long-context benchmarks, and rivals larger, frontier open models in human-rated tasks.

Abstract

Gemma 4 introduces efficient, multimodal language models with diverse architectures, enhanced reasoning capabilities, and improved performance across various tasks.

We introduce Gemma 4, a new generation of open-weight, natively multimodal language models in the Gemma model family. Designed to advance compute efficiency and reasoning, the Gemma 4 model suite features dense andMixture-of-Experts architectures, ranging from 2.3B to 31B parameters. Alongside improved vision andaudio encodersfor all model sizes, we propose a unified,encoder-free architecturefor our 12B model, which ingests raw audio and image patches. Furthermore, we integrate athinking mode, enabling Gemma models to generate reasoning traces prior to responding. We improve inference speed, memory, and compute efficiency, as well aslong-context abilitiesthrough critical design choices. Gemma 4 establishes a leap in performance across STEM, multimodal, and long-context benchmarks, and rivals larger, frontier open models in human-rated tasks.
