Gemma model rankings
Arena's annotated chart drew 33.9K views on X: 4.3x its typical post and #63 of 89 Arena charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
Let’s look at how the open model Gemma has progressed across its last three versions.
Why it spread
The post spread because it paired a hot topic that week with an unusual chart type, and the account's 399 likes were 19.9x its typical 20 likes, drawing 33,924 views, 50 reposts, 10 quotes, and 73 saves.
What worked
- The framing is simple and concrete: Gemma 4 ranks 100 places above Gemma 3, and Gemma 3 ranks 87 above Gemma 2, which makes the progress easy to grasp at a glance.
- The post adds context that all three models are roughly the same size (31B, 27B, 27B) and that the gains came only 9 and 13 months apart, which makes the improvement feel fast and meaningful.
- The chart uses an unusual form, is branded, shows a source line, and the quote rate is above average, all of which helped it travel beyond the account's usual audience.
What to borrow
We could take a hot topic and present our own data with an unusual chart form, then anchor it with a few plain comparisons and a short time frame so the takeaway is obvious without extra explanation.
Careful
Do not over-read the result as proof that the chart design alone drove the spread, since the topic was hot that week, the source reach was only in the bottom quarter, and the post has no points or comments recorded.
