Picked by rule from 9 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
The 1 pick above, plus these 8. Top is the radar's score: discussion, source authority and the lab's own posts, fading with age.
Live hosted endpoints, cheapest first, USD per million tokens. Ties break on output price, then provider name.
Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 0.1 GB at INT4, 0.1 GB at FP8, 0.2 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

The model maps sentences to a 768 dimensional dense vector space for semantic search and text matching.[1]
Generated 2026-10-07 15:04 UTC by parasail-gemma-4-26b-a4b-it; each numeral points at the fact it rests on. Not a verdict.
Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.
