Gemma 4 E2B IT

Gemma 4 E2B IT has no overall index value yet because there are too few independent benchmark results. From the vendor-reported results we estimate about 34.0 points (95% range 11.2 to 56.7). This is not an independent measurement.

Summary

What is new in Google Gemma 4 E2B IT is the smallest instruction-tuned Gemma 4 variant, with 2.3 billion effective parameters and 5.1 billion including embeddings. That distinction explains its local-device focus without making E2B a 2B total model.

Apache 2.0 and the compact parameter size mark the checkpoint’s on-device direction. The E stands for effective parameters, not a shortened model name. Gemma 4 E4B IT offers more capacity while keeping the same on-device direction.

Methodology
Independent evaluation. Target row: Gemma4-E2B-it. T1-Bench Table 2 reports overall results averaged over all domains. The paper states that all user and judge agents are instantiated as Gemma4-26B-A4B-it. Table 6 lists temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=64 and Reasoning Effort '-'. The served model route and immutable evaluated-checkpoint revision are not reported.
Context
The paper reports Table 2 aggregates averaged across domains but does not provide the model-row denominator or a confidence interval for these aggregate cells. These are tool-use task-system metrics, not bare-model output-quality scores. Averaging across domains does not supply an instance-level N. The served route and immutable evaluated-checkpoint revision are not identified.

Frequently asked questions about Gemma 4 E2B IT

How good is Gemma 4 E2B IT in benchmarks?

Independent results are not yet enough for the overall index. An estimate from 3 vendor-reported results (GPQA Diamond 43.4%, LiveCodeBench v6 44%, MMLU-Pro 60%) gives about 34.0 points, with a 95% range of 11.2 to 56.7. The estimate is calibrated on models with both vendor-reported and independent results. Vendor numbers run clearly above independent measurements on some tests; the calibration offsets that on average.

Note

The card does not specify per-task prompts, decoding settings, or evaluation dates.

Not published

immutable model revision

Original wording

The pinned evaluation config explicitly leaves each Hugging Face `revision` null; no immutable weights revision can be established from this source.

Not published

model-side reasoning or effort setting

Original wording

The paper identifies prompt strategy but does not publish a separate model-side thinking/effort toggle for these exact conditions.
