Google’s newly released open weights model, Gemma 4 12B, supports transcription but is far from the frontier, scoring 8.8% on AA-WER (#58)

Gemma 4 12B is the latest release from @GoogleDeepMind in the Gemma 4 family. With a score of 8.8% on AA-WER, it is able to capture a reasonable amount of conversation context, but underperforms compared to transcription-focused open weights models like Voxtral Mini Transcribe 2 (3.6% WER, with 4B parameters) and slightly larger open weights language models like Voxtral Small (2.8% WER, with 12B parameters). The new model launched alongside their local dictation app, Eloquent, available on MacOS and iOS.

Gemma 4 12B is the largest in the Gemma 4 family to support transcription, alongside Gemma 4 E4B and Gemma 4 E2B, with Gemma 4 31B and Gemma 4 26B A4B supporting text, image and video input only. These models are available on a variety of platforms including Hugging Face, Ollama and LMStudio.

We are currently running Gemma 4 12B through the full Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and will share results soon.
