Frequently Asked Questions about Gemma 4 26B A4B

How much does the Gemma 4 26B A4B API cost per 1M tokens?+

Gemma 4 26B A4B by Google is priced at $0 per 1M input tokens and $0 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 0% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the Gemma 4 26B A4B pay-as-you-go API?+

A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.

How many words and pages fit in Gemma 4 26B A4B's context window?+

Gemma 4 26B A4B features a 262K tokens context window, which equals approximately 196,608 English words or ~524 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 32,768 tokens.

Can I run Gemma 4 26B A4B locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, Gemma 4 26B A4B (26B (4B active MoE)) releases open weights that can be self-hosted locally or on private cloud GPUs using vLLM, Ollama, SGLang, or llama.cpp.

Does Google train on data sent to the Gemma 4 26B A4B API, and is commercial use allowed?+

100% Isolated when self-hosted on private GPUs or VPC. License tier: Open-Weights Research & Commercial License. Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: Self-Hosted GPU (vLLM / Ollama), Private VPC, or Managed Serverless API.

How does Gemma 4 26B A4B perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+

Gemma 4 26B A4B achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 74/100, scoring 61% on SWE-bench Verified, 71.5% on GPQA Diamond, 80.5% on MMLU-Pro, and 1365 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.

What is Gemma 4 26B A4B best used for?+

Gemma 4 26B A4B is best suited for: élevé-débit local hébergement, privé chatbots, et rapide document analyse. Assessment: un engineering masterclass dans ouvert MoE efficacité de Google DeepMind.
