For anyone interested in multilingual performance, which is not usually well benchmarked or reported: Gemma 4 does really well, especially the dense 31B version. In fact, it outperforms many models with an order of magnitude higher number of parameters.

It is not quite capable of performing work on really long tail languages, but their claim of 35 languages supported (and a hint of some knowledge of up to 140) was substantiated by our tests.

If you're doing work outside of English and/or need to run a translation model in your terms, Gemma 4 is a very good candidate.
