Gemma 4 26B A4B endpoint guide

How to interpret the Fastest Gemma 4 26B A4B Inference Providers

10 of 10 Gemma 4 26B A4B endpoints currently have the published data required for this ranking. Wafer leads at 6.80 s via wafer/fp8. The table keeps unranked routes visible so missing measurements do not look like missing provider availability.

How complete response time is ranked

The fastest ranking estimates a 500-token answer by adding the recent median first-token wait to 500 divided by median output throughput. It represents an example complete response, not a guarantee for every prompt or request size.

Compare Wafer with the next option

Cloudflare currently ranks second at 8.93 s. Compare that gap with input and output price, response-start time, output speed, 30-minute uptime, context length, and the exact route before deciding whether first place is meaningful for your workload.

Use the route, not only the provider name

Gemma 4 26B A4B has 10 published provider options, and performance data is matched to each exact OpenRouter routing tag. Different quantization, context, regional deployment, or provider configuration can change price and behavior even when the underlying model name is identical.
