About

What Gemma-4 is

Model Overview Description: Gemma 4 31B IT is an open multimodal model built by Google DeepMind that handles text and image inputs, can process video as sequences of frames, and generates text output. It is designed to deliver frontier-level performance for reasoning, agentic workflows, coding, and multimodal understanding on consumer GPUs and workstations, with a 256K-token context window and support for over 140 languages. The model uses a hybrid attention mechanism that interleaves local sliding-window and full global attention, with unified Keys and Values in global layers and Proportional RoPE (p-RoPE) to support long-context performance. The NVIDIA Gemma 4 31B IT NVFP4 model is quantized with NVIDIA Model Optimizer. This model is ready for commercial/non-commercial use. <br Third-Party Community Consideration This model is not owned or developed by NVIDIA. This model has been developed and built to a third-party's requirements for this application and use case; see link to Non-NVIDIA Gemma 4 31B IT Model Card License and Terms of Use: Apache License 2.0 | Gemma | Google AI for Developers Deployment Geography: Global Use Case: Use Case: Designed for text generation, chatbots and conversational AI, text summarization, image data extraction, reasoning, coding, multimodal understanding, function calling, and research or educational use.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys nvidia-gemma-4 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (nvidia-gemma-4 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"nvidia-gemma-4","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

Licence

Commercial licence needed

The weights are open but its licence needs a commercial agreement for business use. AxForge can arrange that licence and host the model for you — you pay AxForge, we settle with the model’s maker. Ask us for a quote. Read the licence ↗
