Decision reading
Gemma 4 31B scores 60.2 out of 100 and ranks #62 of 218. This profile shows 8 source-displayable benchmark rows; its strongest eligible category is Coding at #89. 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

Coding ranks #89. Particularly well-suited for software development and code generation tasks.

Validate before choosing

8 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 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 31B ranks #62 of 218 on the public leaderboard with a score of 60.15/100. Its source-verified position is #39 of 104.

Gemma 4 31B 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 31B sits in the Gemma 4 family with Gemma 4 26B A4B, Gemma 4 12B, Gemma 4 E2B, Gemma 4 E4B. 8 of 437 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Coding at #89, while its lowest eligible position is Agentic at #125. particularly well-suited for software development and code generation tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How does Gemma 4 31B perform overall in AI benchmarks?

Gemma 4 31B ranks #62 out of 218 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 60.15/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 8 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is Gemma 4 31B good for knowledge and understanding?

Gemma 4 31B 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 31B good for coding and programming?

Gemma 4 31B ranks #89 out of 135 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 47/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Gemma 4 31B good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

Gemma 4 31B ranks #125 out of 130 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 25.5/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Gemma 4 31B good for multimodal and grounded tasks?

Gemma 4 31B 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 31B open source?

Gemma 4 31B 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 31B?

Gemma 4 31B belongs to the Gemma 4 family. Related tracked variants include Gemma 4 26B A4B, 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 31B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Gemma 4 31B currently has 24 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 31B?

Gemma 4 31B 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.
