Gemma 4 26B-A4B migrated to Ternary Architedure
Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE) migrated to the JiRack ternary architecture.
- Text-only: official vision tower dropped (~550M params), decoder kept
- ~26B total / ~4B active per token (128 experts, top-8)
- Ternary (BitNet b1.58) QAT path for CPU / GGUF / Ollama
- Vision removed for RAM/VRAM optimization . So it safes much memory for large context
- Robotics, routing, coding and tool-call tags via CMSManhattan/GemmaRoboticsTokenizer
JiRack service options
- Current quantizations were done from the FP16 model.
- If you need custom compression or fine-tuning, please write to me and I'll perform QAT from your dataset, tailored specifically to your task.
- Plus double QAT via ONNX QAT.
- Adapt train process to avoid catastrophic forgetting with NDA
- Adapt train process to avoid fast plateau in training with NDA
- Adapts to agentic or instruct models for tool calling, using the JiRack tokenizer to enable high-quality tool calling on small models — built as a domain-specific tool expert.
- Deployment and scale
Partnership
- NVIDIA Inception
- FISERV
Architecture
From google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it text config:
| Vocab | 262,144 (tied embeddings) |
| Hidden | 2,816 |
| Layers | 30 (5 sliding : 1 full) |
| Heads | 16 |
| Sliding attn | head_dim 256, KV heads 8, RoPE θ 10k, window 1024 |
| Full attn | head_dim 512, KV heads 2, proportional RoPE θ 1e6, partial rotary 0.25, k_eq_v (no v_proj) |
| Dense MLP | 2,112 (every token, GeGLU / gelu_pytorch_tanh) |
| Experts | 128 × 704, top-8 |
| RMSNorm | plain x * w / rms(x), ε = 1e-6 |
| Softcap | 30.0 |
| Context (ckpt) | 262,144 (this export uses RoPE table 4,096 unless rebuilt) |
What is ternarized: q/k/v/o, dense MLP, all 128 experts.
What stays full precision: embeddings / tied lm_head, router, norms, layer_scalar.
Class: JiRackTernaryGemma4_26b (JiRackTernaryGemma4_26b.py).

Tokenizer
Use CMSManhattan/GemmaRoboticsTokenizer with this checkpoint.
- Gemma 4 chat template (
<|turn>user/<|turn>model/<turn|>) - Extra tags: robotics, routing (
__ROBOTICS__,__CODING__, …), FIM, media, mood - Vocab: 262,251 (
pad=0,eos=1)
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CMSManhattan/GemmaRoboticsTokenizer")
prompt = tok.apply_chat_template(
[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
add_generation_prompt=True,
enable_thinking=False,
tokenize=False,
)
Official google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it tokenizer also works for plain chat (vocab 262,144).
Robotics / routing tags need the extended tokenizer.
The extra 107 tokens sit past this checkpoint’s token_emb (262,144).
They are safe in the template and in datasets; do not emit those ids until you
resize_token_embeddings(len(tokenizer)) and train the new rows.
Training Notice
- During Quantization-Aware Training, the routing mechanism should remain frozen. Router training should only commence once the lambda parameter reaches 1.0 and the base model's quality has been verified. (Note: "lamba" was corrected to "lambda" in these revisions, assuming it refers to the standard scaling parameter often used in QAT and straight-through estimators).
Run Notice
- Please note that the model has not been tested on large contexts yet. Let me know if you notice any difference in quality compared to the original.
Chat template
Gemma 4 native (<|turn>user / <|turn>model / <turn|>).
Thinking is a template flag (enable_thinking), not a </think> suffix.
With thinking off the model still emits an empty <|channel>thought\n<channel|> block — strip it from history.
Stop tokens: <turn|> (106) and <eos> (1).
Sampling (Gemma 4 rec.): temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=64.
Quick start (PyTorch)
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from JiRackTernaryGemma4_26b import JiRackTernaryGemma4_26b, JiRackConfig
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CMSManhattan/GemmaRoboticsTokenizer")
# load shards via model.safetensors.index.json into JiRackTernaryGemma4_26b
# model.set_lambda(0.0)
Or the included chat script:
export JIRACK_TOKENIZER=CMSManhattan/GemmaRoboticsTokenizer
python chat_jirack_gemma4_26b.py
GGUF / llama.cpp / Ollama
Current quants were made from the F16 export.

bf16 safetensors need ~50 GB RAM/VRAM resident even though only ~4B params fire per token.
Lineage
Text decoder follows google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it.
Tokenizer: CMSManhattan/GemmaRoboticsTokenizer.
This card is the JiRack ternary port, not a Google release. Do not treat upstream Gemma 4 leaderboard numbers as this checkpoint’s scores.
JiRack Codding Agent IDE
- It is Agent Coding IDE for JiRack Models to run via Ollama on home PC
- It good choose for Agent Coding IDE such as Cursor , Windsurf IDE or Devin IDE etc but more safe that ask you to apply changes and review.
