Google: Gemma 3 12B

The Google Gemma 3 12B model is designed for multi-modal input, accepting both text and image inputs. It operates within a context length of 131072 tokens and allows for a maximum of 16384 completion tokens. If budget is a concern, the Gemma 3 12B might be worth considering due to its relatively low pricing, with $0.05 per million input tokens and $0.15 per million output tokens. However, its lack of independent benchmark coverage makes it difficult to accurately assess its performance against other models. As such, users seeking a model for specific use cases may want to explore further before shortlisting the Gemma 3 12B based on these factors alone.
