Gemma 3 27B vs UI-TARS-2

Gemma 3 27B

Google DeepMind

Gemma 3 27B is a 27-billion-parameter open-weight model from Google DeepMind, released in March 2025 alongside the Gemma 3 12B as the higher-capability variant in the series, built with native vision-language support for text and image inputs across a 128K token context window. Among the Gemma 3 releases, the 27B delivered the strongest results on instruction-following and knowledge-intensive reasoning tasks, making it the preferred option for developers needing greater accuracy from a self-hostable model. Its open-weight availability under a permissive license made it a common starting point for vision-language fine-tuning projects.

ByteDance

UI-TARS-2, released by ByteDance in September 2025, is a major generational upgrade of the UI-TARS family of GUI interaction models, with enhanced capabilities across computer control, game environments, code generation, and tool use. It targets agentic workflows requiring robust multimodal understanding of graphical interfaces across diverse application domains.
