Google released their new Gemma 3 multimodal (text + image) models. Gemma 3 comes in 1B, 4B, 12B, and 27B sizes and the 27B model matches Gemini-1.5-Pro on many benchmarks. It introduces vision understanding, has a 128K context window, and multilingual support in 140+ languages.
Interestingly the model's architecture is very different from Llama, Gemma and PaliGemma's.
