Gemma 4 31B vs Llama 3.2 Vision 11b: Overview

Gemma 4 31B

Gemma 4 31B is the largest dense model in Google's Gemma 4 family, built from the same research as Gemini 3 and released as open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. It supports a 256K token context window with text and image input, configurable thinking mode for step-by-step reasoning, and multilingual support across 140+ languages. The unquantized model fits on a single 80GB GPU.

For vision tasks, Gemma 4 31B supports image understanding with variable aspect ratios and resolutions, and can output structured bounding boxes for UI element detection, making it useful for document parsing and UI understanding. Compared to Gemma 3, it delivers stronger reasoning and multimodal performance. It is part of a four-size family alongside the 26B A4B MoE variant and two on-device models (E2B, E4B), with the 31B dense variant optimized for output quality and fine-tuning over inference speed.

Llama 3.2 Vision 11b

Llama 3.2 Vision 11B, released by Meta on September 25, 2024, is the first mid-sized model in the Llama family with vision capabilities, supporting both text and image inputs with text-only outputs. It contains around 11 billion parameters (~10.6B) and features a 128,000-token context window, making it suitable for multimodal reasoning over long documents and image-text tasks. The model was trained on ~6 billion image–text pairs and has a knowledge cutoff of December 2023.

The model is available in a base and an instruction-tuned (“Vision-Instruct”) version, optimized for tasks like captioning, visual question answering, and image reasoning. It leverages Group-Query Attention (GQA) for improved inference efficiency and scalability. While text tasks officially support multiple languages (English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, Thai), multimodal (image+text) tasks are supported primarily in English. Llama 3.2 Vision 11B is accessible through Hugging Face, Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, NVIDIA NIM, and OCI, making it a widely deployable open-weight multimodal foundation model.
