Gemma 4 31BGoogleThis page, always on the chart

Among the 40 current releases on this chart, Gemma 4 31B ranks 6th of 25 on Answers in full. Science is Artificial Analysis's run on GPQA Diamond, Factuality is Epoch AI's run on SimpleQA Verified and Instruction following is Artificial Analysis's run on IFBench, marked on the chart. It ranks lowest on Tool use, 37th of 38 and Long context, 36th of 38. Agentic coding, Math and Computer use: not yet published by Google or any independent evaluator, checked Nov 2, 2026.

Each axis is one public benchmark at one setting, on its own fixed 0 to 100 scale, so adding a model never moves another. A dotted bridge crosses a missing result, which is never a zero. A hollow mark is a result from another source: the maker's own figure or another lab's run, where the benchmark's usual source has not tested the model yet. The readout names it.

Price and speed

  • Google sells no API access to Gemma 4 31B. Among Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI and Microsoft Foundry, the lowest list price is on Amazon Bedrock: $0.14 per million input tokens and $0.40 per million output tokens (US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio) and US West (Oregon), on-demand). Every host's price is in Routes. Amazon Web Services pricing, Oct 29, 2026.
  • Gemma 4 31B writes 35.5 output tokens per second on Google's API, and its first token arrives 1.1 s after the request. Artificial Analysis, Oct 28, 2026.
  • Fastest on the chart is the shortest time to a 500-token answer: time to first token plus 500 tokens at the median output speed.

Every model with a result, axis by axis

57 models. A maker's own figure and another lab's run are marked with their benchmark; a missing result reads "Not yet published", never zero.

The result of every model GILD has benchmark results for, on each of the 12 axes. A vendor-reported value is marked. A model's run notes open under its row from its name, each with the axes it covers.
