Decision reading
Gemma 4 26B A4B scores 57.2 out of 100 and ranks #85 of 218. This profile shows 4 source-displayable benchmark rows. Published weights can be self-hosted, but infrastructure cost varies and is not a comparable API token rate.
Data as of August 15, 2026 · How the score is built
Strongest published evidence
Published rows are visible, but no category has enough eligible evidence for a comparative rank.
Validate before choosing
4 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. No comparable first-party API token rate is published.
Decision snapshot
Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

How much of this is verified
Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Deployment options
Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.
Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
Gemma 4 26B A4B ranks #85 of 218 on the public leaderboard with a score of 57.16/100. Its source-verified position is #49 of 104.
Gemma 4 26B A4B is a open weight model with a 256K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.
Official exact-value snapshot from Google's April 2, 2026 Gemma 4 model card and launch post. BenchLM maps only schema-equivalent results from the published table: MMLU Pro, GPQA Diamond, LiveCodeBench v6, HLE no tools / with search, BigBench Extra Hard, MMMU Pro, and MRCR v2. AIME 2026, Codeforces, MMMLU, OmniDocBench 1.5, MATH-Vision, MedXPertQA MM, audio benchmarks, and Tau2 (average over 3) remain out-of-schema or non-equivalent to current weighted keys.
Gemma 4 26B A4B sits in the Gemma 4 family with Gemma 4 31B, Gemma 4 12B, Gemma 4 E2B, Gemma 4 E4B. 4 of 437 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Frequently asked questions
How does Gemma 4 26B A4B perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Gemma 4 26B A4B ranks #85 out of 218 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 57.16/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 4 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.
Is Gemma 4 26B A4B good for knowledge and understanding?
Gemma 4 26B A4B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for knowledge and understanding, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is Gemma 4 26B A4B good for multimodal and grounded tasks?
Gemma 4 26B A4B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multimodal and grounded tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is Gemma 4 26B A4B open source?
Gemma 4 26B A4B is an open-weight model from Google. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.
Which sibling models are related to Gemma 4 26B A4B?
Gemma 4 26B A4B belongs to the Gemma 4 family. Related tracked variants include Gemma 4 31B, Gemma 4 12B, Gemma 4 E2B, plus 1 more. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.
Does Gemma 4 26B A4B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Gemma 4 26B A4B currently has 20 source-displayable rows across 437 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of Gemma 4 26B A4B?
Gemma 4 26B A4B has a documented context window of 256K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
Last updated August 15, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
