Gemma 3 12B vs InternS1

Gemma 3 12B

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.

Shanghai AI Lab

InternS1, released by Shanghai AI Laboratory at WAIC 2025 on July 26, 2025, is a multimodal scientific reasoning large language model designed for advanced problem-solving across mathematics, physics, chemistry, and related domains. It supports text, image, and potentially other scientific data formats as input, and demonstrated strong performance on competition-level scientific benchmarks. InternS1 targets open-source scientific research, STEM education, and applications requiring deep domain reasoning across natural science disciplines.
