Take a look here: https://playground.roboflow.com/evals. We have few ~30B.

Really? Gemma4-31B should be better than Qwen3.8-27B? I'm happy to test that.

Hi! I’m the author of this blog. I wrote it 4 weeks ago, and it’s already a bit outdated. Gemini 3.7 Flash came out last week, and considering the price, it’s easily the best vision model right now: https://x.com/skalskip92/status/2088032652301304121?s=20

Hi! I’m the author of this blog.

I’m evaluating these VLMs to figure out which ones are good enough to auto-annotate my data, so I can fine-tune my detector.

I wrote a bit more about this here: https://x.com/skalskip92/status/2080334344061694429?s=20

Hi! I’m the author of this blog. GPT-5.6 is much better at vision than previous GPT versions, but it’s still much weaker than Gemini 3.5 Flash or Gemini 3.7 Flash, which was released last week. One interesting approach is to use Gemini through a tool call.

Hi! I’m the author of this blog and benchmark. You’re right. I’ll fix it in the ground-truth dataset. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi! I’m the author of this blog. I had the same intuition, but together with the OpenAI team we figured out that the issue was image resolution. GPT-5.6 doesn’t handle large images well.

Hi! I’m the author of this blog. I regularly benchmark new VLM releases. You can check the results for Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-27B here: https://playground.roboflow.com/evals

Hi, I’m the author of this blog. It depends on how strong of a model you need, but in general, Qwen is easily the best among the Chinese models right now.

Over the last two weeks, Qwen released two new models. Qwen3.8-Max is totally insane, but it’s only available through the Alibaba Cloud API. I wrote a similar blog covering Qwen3.8-Max: [https://blog.roboflow.com/qwen3-8-max/](https://blog.roboflow.com/qwen3-8-max/)

If you’re looking for something you can run locally, Qwen3.8-27B might be a great option. On Friday, I did a quick comparison between Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-27B: [https://x.com/skalskip92/status/2088411215441621469?s=20](https://x.com/skalskip92/status/2088411215441621469?s=20)

Hi, I’m the author of this blog post. I wrote it about 4 weeks ago, and the VLM world is moving so fast that it’s already kinda outdated. I think Gemini 3.7 Flash might be a better choice now, especially when you factor in the price.

Here’s a comparison of the best low-cost models I put together last week. What’s crazy is that Gemini 3.7 Flash is now 50% off on OpenRouter, and this chart doesn’t even account for that discount. https://x.com/skalskip92/status/2088032652301304121?s=20
