gemma-4-26b-a4b-itGemma 4 26B A4B IT is an instruction-tuned Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Google DeepMind, featuring 25.2B total parameters with only 3.8B activated per token—delivering near 31B-class quality at a fraction of the compute cost. It supports multimodal inputs including text, images, and video (up to 60s at 1fps). The model includes a 256K token context window, native function calling, configurable thinking/reasoning modes, and structured output support. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, it is well suited for efficient, production-ready multimodal and agentic applications.

Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview (May 2025) is Google's high-performance general model built for advanced reasoning, coding, math, and science. It includes built-in “thinking” features to deliver more accurate, context-aware answers.
Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is a lightweight, low-latency model focused on speed and cost efficiency. It generates tokens quickly and outperforms earlier Flash models on common benchmarks. “Thinking” (multi-pass reasoning) is off by default for maximum speed, but can be turned on through the Reasoning API when deeper reasoning is needed.
Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is a smaller, low-latency model focused on speed and cost efficiency. It delivers faster generation and better benchmark performance than earlier Flash models. Thinking mode is off by default for maximum speed, but developers can enable it when they want deeper reasoning at a higher cost.
