Summary

Google Gemma 4 12B IT is distinguished by the 12B Unified variant’s direct multimodal path without separate audio or vision encoders. Released on June 3, 2026, the checkpoint accepts text, image, audio, and video input, generates text, and uses Apache 2.0 weights.

The model card lists up to 32,768 output tokens and more than 140 training languages. Gemma 4 31B IT is larger and dense, while 12B Unified routes modalities more directly through one model.

Exact AA configuration: Gemma 4 12B (Reasoning) (release gemma-4-12b, row gemma-4-12b, UUID feb02d3b-ff8d-4ed4-b165-13f8d4a7192c, reasoning=true, effort=not specified, suffix=Reasoning). AA source value for average reasoning tokens before the answer: 2000. Its methodology averages 60 varied prompts and assumes 2,000 when no average is available. This is not a token cap. The AA run covers 1,730 questions with ten answer options. Answers are extracted by regex and scored pass@1.. Tool policy: Ten-option multiple choice; regex answer extraction. Attempts: pass@1, one run per question. Reasoning: reasoning enabled
Context
The benchmark page describes 3,460 questions in the full MMMU-Pro dataset; AA's methodology specifies a 1,730-question run.. This result is retained as historical evidence and is not interchangeable with current results.

Frequently asked questions about Gemma 4 12B IT

How good is Gemma 4 12B IT in benchmarks?

Independent results are not yet enough for the overall index. An estimate from 5 vendor-reported results (GPQA Diamond 78.8%, Humanity's Last Exam (no tools) 5.2%, LiveCodeBench v6 72%, MMLU-Pro 77.2%, MMMU-Pro 69.1%) gives about 55.3 points, with a 95% range of 35.1 to 75.5. The estimate is calibrated on models with both vendor-reported and independent results. Vendor numbers run clearly above independent measurements on some tests; the calibration offsets that on average.

Note

The exact card shows Mean, Short, and Medium values and the named pipeline; the contributor PR identifies unified value F1 and says the overall mean covers 370 documents. The split-specific sample sizes, benchmark revision, immutable evaluated checkpoint, confidence interval, score scale, and full run settings are not stated. The captured card shows an additional unexpanded result control without exposing its label or value, so no hidden result is inferred.
