I took a screenshot of code with a SQL injection vulnerability, compressed it twice through WhatsApp, and fed it to Gemma 4 running entirely on my 8GB RAM laptop.

One minute and forty-seven seconds later, it pointed out the exact dangerous line, explained why it was vulnerable, and showed the correct way to fix it.

I'm a 19-year-old self-taught developer in Nigeria. I don't have a high-end machine or a GPU. Just a consumer laptop, an internet connection, and four years of figuring things out alone.

When Google released Gemma 4, I skipped most of the benchmark discussions and tested it myself to see what it could actually do on limited hardware.

This is that report.
