Google released gemma-4-31b-it on April 2 alongside the 26B A4B IT model. That shared launch does not make the two records interchangeable.

The suffix is a name, not a contract

gemma-4-31b-it is useful when you look for the endpoint. It does not tell you the input limit, output cap, deployment hardware, or observed performance. Get those details from a model-specific provider page, not from the name.

Do not copy the sibling's numbers

Google announced the 31B and 26B models together. Unpublished figures are still separate for each ID. benchr records the shared availability and leaves the unlisted limits, price, and benchmarks empty on both records.

Ask six questions before you reserve capacity

Confirm endpoint access, rate limits, the pricing unit, input and output limits, license terms, and the acceptance test for your workload. The launch note gets this model onto a watchlist. It does not answer the production questions.
