CodeGemma 7B
Google's Gemma-licensed code model — lightweight completion and generation for everyday coding.
About
CodeGemma 7B (April 2024) is Google's code-specialized Gemma model: code completion, generation, and chat, trained on a large code corpus. The 7B size runs on consumer hardware.
Licensed under the Gemma Terms of Use: custom, NOT open source — commercial use is allowed under the terms but with restrictions (including prohibited-use clauses). Review before product use. A 2024 model in a 2026 field: superseded on quality by Qwen2.5-Coder and Qwen3-Coder, but historically significant as Google's open-weights code entry and still usable for lightweight completion. Direct adoption is small (2.9k HF downloads).

Benchmarks
Provider-claimed at release (2024): competitive HumanEval for its size — treat as provider-claimed and dated. No current leaderboard presence.
Provider-reported unless a source says otherwise. Benchmarks are marketing-adjacent by nature — treat them as directional.
Use cases
Trust score — 5/10
Scored 5/10 (metrics tier). A usable lightweight code model with Google provenance, but limited: (1) Gemma Terms are custom, not open source; (2) 2024-era, superseded by Qwen2.5-Coder-7B on quality; (3) small adoption (2.9k HF downloads); (4) 8K context is tight by current standards. Historical interest more than a current recommendation.
