Is Fourier-Qwen2.5-VL-3B-0.67 or gemma-3-1b-it smaller?

Both publish quantizations; compare the table for the exact sizes.

Which uses less memory at long context?

gemma-3-1b-it — its KV cache at 32K context is 7.7x smaller, because of how its attention layers cache.

Fourier-Qwen2.5-VL-3B-0.67 vs gemma-3-1b-it

These two publish different quantization sets; the table below has the exact sizes. At long context the gap widens: gemma-3-1b-it's KV cache at 32K is 7.7× smaller, which usually matters more than the difference in weights.
