Google: Gemma 2 27B

Gemma 2 27B is a text-only model from Google with an 8,192-token context window and a 2,048-token output ceiling. It accepts only text input and does not support tool use, reasoning modes, or structured output, making it a straightforward text-generation option without the extended integrations some workflows require. At $0.65 per million tokens for both input and output, the pricing is flat and mid-range for this class of model. The catch for serious evaluation is that there is currently no independent benchmark coverage, so performance relative to comparably priced competitors is unproven. Buyers who already have direct experience with this model family and want a cost-predictable, no-frills text generator may find it worth shortlisting; those making a first-time choice and relying on third-party benchmarks to guide decisions should wait for coverage to emerge before committing.
