Gemma 4 31B is still not impressive at coding compare to even Qwen 3.5 27B. It's just not its strong suit.
So far gemma 4 seems excellent at role playing, document analysis, and decent at making agentic decisions.

Qwen3.5 comes in various sizes (including 27B), and judging by the posts on HN, /LocalLlama etc., it seems to be better at logic/reasoning/coding/tool calling compared to Gemma 4, while Gemma 4 is better at creative writing and world knowledge (basically nothing changed from the Qwen3 vs. Gemma3 era)
