An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.
Other Reported Results
These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

SAVRN's Notes on gemma-4-12B-it
Text and images in, audio too on this size, text out, 140-plus languages, a 256K-token window: that is Google's instruction-tuned Gemma 4 12B. The footprint is 28.7 GB at 16-bit, 14.4 GB at 8-bit and 7.2 GB at 4-bit, all three on one MI300X at $1.85 per hour with 192 GB to work in, so the question is not which card but how much of it you leave for a 262,144-token context and its neighbors.
Nothing in Apache 2.0 stops you: commercial use, modification and redistribution, with license and NOTICE files kept and changes stated. It derives from google/gemma-4-12B, the pre-trained base, so start there for your own tuning, and read arXiv:2607.02770 first. The scores here, 78.8 on GPQA diamond among them, are model card numbers, not ours; run your own documents. No Index host prices it by the token; the comparison is the card hour.
SAVRN's Notes on MiniCPM-o-4_5
We would look at this one when the job involves a camera and a microphone at the same time. OpenBMB assembled it from SigLip2 for vision, Whisper-medium for hearing, CosyVoice2 for speech and Qwen3-8B for language, and the feature they lead with is full-duplex multimodal live streaming. At 16-bit it needs 22.5 GB; 8-bit brings that to 11.2 GB and 4-bit to 5.6 GB. All three fit on one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour, so the card decision is how many live sessions you want on it at once.
Apache License 2.0 applies: commercial use, modification and redistribution are permitted, and you keep the notices and state significant changes. Two checks. The context is 40,960 tokens, short for this hub, so plan session length around it. And the paper on file, arXiv:2408.01800, describes MiniCPM-V, so read the 4.5 card for what changed.
Questions
