Shape of the matched evidence

Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.

Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Category results, on a stated basis

Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.8 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.8) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.

What each workload costs

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Chat turn

1K fresh input + 500 output tokens

Gemma 4 31B: Self-hosted; infrastructure cost varies; Fits in one request
Qwen3.7 Max: API rate not published; Fits in one request

Gemma 4 31B has no comparable published API token rate. Qwen3.7 Max has no comparable published API token rate.

Repository review

50K fresh input + 3K output tokens

Gemma 4 31B: Self-hosted; infrastructure cost varies; Fits in one request

If you already use one of these models

Deployment change: The models list different providers, so authentication, endpoint behavior, limits, and feature support may change.
Quality signal: Qwen3.7 Max has the higher public point estimate, 63.46 versus 41.07. Their conditional score ranges do not overlap. These ranges do not establish rank confidence.
Workload cost: A complete comparable API-rate estimate is not available for both models.
Context tradeoff: Qwen3.7 Max has the larger documented window (1M).

Run the same representative tasks against both endpoints before changing production traffic.

Questions

Which is better, Gemma 4 31B or Qwen3.7 Max?

Qwen3.7 Max has the higher public point estimate, 63.46 versus 41.07. Their conditional score ranges do not overlap. These ranges do not establish rank confidence. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.

Which is better for coding, Gemma 4 31B or Qwen3.7 Max?

Qwen3.7 Max has the higher public coding point estimate, 45.4 to 34.4, with Supported evidence for both models. The conditional ranges do not establish rank confidence.

Which is better for agentic tasks, Gemma 4 31B or Qwen3.7 Max?

Qwen3.7 Max scores higher for agentic tasks on the public lane, 39.3 to 18.9. Gemma 4 31B is scored on Estimated evidence for agentic tasks, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for agentic tasks from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.

Which costs less, Gemma 4 31B or Qwen3.7 Max?

Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.

Which has the larger context window, Gemma 4 31B or Qwen3.7 Max?

Qwen3.7 Max has the larger documented context window: 1M, compared with 256K.
