Gemma 4 26B A4B is the stronger all-rounder.
Scores updated · 11 tests both models report · How we compare
Where each one wins
Tests won in each of the three areas where both have results. Each piece is one test, so a longer bar means more evidence; grey means the two scored within a point of each other.
Agents and reasoning rest on a single test each.
What it costs
Prices per million tokens, roughly 750,000 words. The bars show the cost of a million tokens read plus a million written.
The biggest differences
The tests each model wins by the widest margin, up to three each. Scores are out of 100.

How do you compare the two?
We use the 11 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 6 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 5 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
