Gemma 3 beats DeepSeek V3 in Elo, 2.0 Flash beats GPT4o with Native Image Gen
Google DeepMind launched the Gemma 3 family of models featuring a 128k context window, multimodal input (image and video), and multilingual support for 140+ languages. The Gemma 3-27B model ranks among the top open models on LMArena benchmarks, outperforming several competitors and matching Gemini-1.5-Pro on benchmarks. Additionally, Gemini 2 introduced Flash Native Image Generation with advanced image editing capabilities, a feature teased by OpenAI but not launched. The updates highlight significant advances in context length, multimodality, and model efficiency via quantization.
