Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Gemma 3 12B supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Google DeepMind
Gemma 3 12B is a 12-billion-parameter open-weight model from Google DeepMind, released in March 2025 as part of the Gemma 3 series designed to bring multimodal reasoning to accessible hardware. The model supports both text and image inputs across a 128K token context window, extending the vision capabilities that defined the Gemma 3 generation compared to earlier text-only Gemma releases. It became widely adopted for domain-specific fine-tuning in research and enterprise settings where full multimodal capability was needed without the infrastructure demands of larger frontier models.
Zhipu AI
GLM-4.7, released by Zhipu AI on December 22, 2025, is a large language model with approximately 400 billion parameters from the GLM-4 family, designed for deep mathematical reasoning, multi-file software engineering, and stable agentic orchestration. It features a 200K token context window and 128K maximum output tokens, supporting extended code and analysis generation. GLM-4.7 targets advanced open-source deployments under an MIT license via Zhipu AI's Z.ai platform.
