Google: Gemma 3n 4B

google/gemma-3n-e4b-it

Gemma 3n E4B-it is optimized for efficient execution on mobile and low-resource devices, such as phones, laptops, and tablets. It supports multimodal inputs—including text, visual data, and audio—enabling diverse tasks such as text generation, speech recognition, translation, and image analysis. Leveraging innovations like Per-Layer Embedding (PLE) caching and the MatFormer architecture, Gemma 3n dynamically manages memory usage and computational load by selectively activating model parameters, significantly reducing runtime resource requirements.

This model supports a wide linguistic range (trained in over 140 languages) and features a flexible 32K token context window. Gemma 3n can selectively load parameters, optimizing memory and computational efficiency based on the task or device capabilities, making it well-suited for privacy-focused, offline-capable applications and on-device AI solutions.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Pricing

List price is the headline rate per million tokens. Effective price is what you actually pay after prompt caching is applied — for repeated context, this can be 60–80% cheaper. The chart below shows the rolling effective price over the past 30 days.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations. Higher percentages are better — and rank percentile shows where this model lands among all models on OpenRouter.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
