  STACKIT AI Model Serving: New Model Release Google Gemma 4 (Replacement for Google Gemma 3)

  Jul 14, 2026

  We are excited to announce that we are upgrading our model lineup by introducing google/gemma-4-31B-it, which will serve as the successor to our current Google-Gemma offerings.

  Gemma 4 models are multimodal, handling text and image input and generating text output. Gemma 4 features a context window of up to 256K tokens and maintains multilingual support in over 140 languages. Gemma 4 models are well-suited for a variety of text generation and image understanding tasks, including question answering, summarization, and reasoning. The large context window of 256K and the improved reasoning capabilities make this model particularly well-suited to agent-based workflows.

  As part of this transition, we are officially deprecating the following model:

  • google/gemma-3-27b-it

  We kindly ask all customers to migrate their workloads to the new model google/gemma-4-31B-it before 14 October 2026.

  Explore our full model portfolio, and access detailed examples and tutorials in our documentation. Our Help Center is always at your disposal if you have any questions.
