Gemma 4 26B A4B: Multimodal MoE for Reasoning and Coding
This model is a 26 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) variant from the Gemma 4 family, developed by Google DeepMind. It is designed for efficient inference with only 3.8 billion active parameters, making it perform comparably to a 4B model in speed while leveraging its larger total parameter count for capability. The model supports a substantial 256K token context window and is multimodal, handling both text and image inputs to generate text outputs.
Key Capabilities
- Multimodality: Processes text and images, with variable aspect ratio and resolution support. Video understanding is also supported by processing sequences of frames.
- Efficient Architecture: Utilizes a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) design, activating a smaller subset of parameters (3.8B) during inference for speed.
- Extended Context Window: Features a 256K token context length, enabling deep awareness for complex, long-context tasks through a hybrid attention mechanism.
- Enhanced Reasoning & Coding: Designed as a highly capable reasoner with configurable thinking modes and significant improvements in coding benchmarks, including native function-calling support.
- Multilingual Support: Pre-trained on over 140 languages, with out-of-the-box support for 35+ languages.
- Native System Prompt Support: Introduces native support for the
systemrole for more structured and controllable conversations.
