Should I use this for coding agents

Gemma 4 26B A4B IT is an instruction-tuned Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Google DeepMind.

When you want the 2026-04-03 catalog SKU, not a later rename.

No independent row for this SKU

No independent board lists this exact SKU as of 2026-08-19.

Closest benchmarked sibling: Gemini 3.7 Flash, 65% ±2% Pass@1 at high on the DeepSWE official board. That is a score for the sibling, not for this SKU.

Boards checked: DeepSWE official (2026-08-13), Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, vals.ai hero index. Every card that does carry a row is on the coding leaderboard.

DeepSWE

No official DeepSWE mini-swe-agent row for this identity on the public board we fetched.

When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • When you need a Continuum-hosted SKU from this lab, use the hosted card on this hub instead of this catalog row.
  • $0.07 in / $0.34 out per 1M on the 2026-08-19 OpenRouter row. Context 262,144 in / 16,384 out.
  • Need a denser published sibling on this hub? Gemini 3.7 Flash is the card already on the cluster.
  • When the job needs a published DeepSWE, Artificial Analysis, or vals.ai chip: this page does not invent one. Those boards did not list this exact SKU on 2026-08-19.

Plus is $25/mo with $25 weekly hosted usage. The Mac app stays free with your own keys. Get Plus is not Download for Mac.

Compare, FAQ, and Get Plus

No other card in this cluster shares a published DeepSWE official row we can put next to this one. We will not compare on vendor-blog numbers.

FAQ

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.
