 $0.172 per million tokens, balanced Balanced Summarise Chat Code gen Agentic

## Gemma 4 31B is both better and cheaper.

It scores **+22.3** higher and costs **7% less** ($0.160/M against $0.172/M) on this workload — and it does everything this model does.

[DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731](/models/deepseek__deepseek-v4-flash-0731) is cheaper still (39% less) but drops no image input.
