Is there a reason people seem to exclude google models? I see lots of talk about llama, mistral, deepseek, and then ofc gpt and claude, but not much about gemma and gemini despite them benchmarking well.
can-ai-code seems to have Gemma 2-27b as pretty capable - beating out some of the other models that perform really well on aider: https://huggingface.co/spaces/mike-ravkine/can-ai-code-resul...

So it may be that Gemma can write new code, but is not particularly good at editing or refactoring code.
