Google: Gemma 3 12B

Gemma 3 12B from Google is designed for handling both text and image inputs within an expansive context of up to 131072 tokens. While it supports tools integration, it lacks reasoning capabilities and does not offer structured output formats. Pricing stands at $0.05 per million input tokens and $0.15 per million output tokens. This model should be considered for users who need versatility in handling text and image inputs; however, its lack of reasoning limits its suitability for complex tasks requiring deep analysis or decision-making processes. With a benchmark blended score of 4.6 across three independent benchmarks, it performs well but may not be the best choice if you prioritize reasoning abilities or detailed structured outputs.
