Gemma 4 E4B vs Phi-4 Reasoning

This comparison does not currently contain a protocol-matched coding benchmark for both Gemma 4 E4B and Phi-4 Reasoning, so Model Markets cannot name a coding leader from pricing, context size, or capability labels alone.

Only Gemma 4 E4B has a directly sourced input price: $0.020 per million tokens. Only Gemma 4 E4B has a directly sourced output price: $0.10 per million tokens.

Gemma 4 E4B has the larger sourced context window. Gemma 4 E4B supports 131K and Phi-4 Reasoning supports 33K.

There is no overall benchmark winner: At least two independently verified, protocol-matched benchmarks are required for an overall winner.

Both models have the same recorded self-hosting status: supported. Gemma 4 E4B is open weight; Phi-4 Reasoning is open weight.

Gemma 4 E4B is documented with image input; Phi-4 Reasoning is not documented with image input. This reflects supported input modalities, not vision quality.

Neither has a larger sourced maximum output. Gemma 4 E4B is — and Phi-4 Reasoning is —.

Gemma 4 E4B: reasoning, tool calling, and image input. Phi-4 Reasoning: reasoning. Feature support does not establish relative quality.
