gemma-4-E2B-it MLX 4-bit
This repository contains an MLX-LM conversion of google/gemma-4-E2B-it.
Conversion Details
- Original model:
google/gemma-4-E2B-it - Model family: Gemma4
- Source model type:
gemma4 - Model size: 5,123,178,051 parameters
- Quantization: MLX-LM affine quantization
- Bits: 4-bit
- Group size: 64
- Local MLX folder size at upload time: 2.47 GiB
- Local safetensors weight size at upload time: 2.44 GiB
This Gemma conversion follows the MLX-LM Gemma 4 shared-KV topology and uses non-strict checkpoint loading so extra HF tensors outside that topology are discarded during conversion.
For mlx-swift compatibility, per_layer_model_projection was left unquantized while the rest of the eligible linear layers were quantized.
Usage
mlx_lm.generate --model DreamFoundries/gemma-4-E2B-it-4bit --prompt "Hello" --max-tokens 64
Benchmarks
No comparative benchmarks have been run yet. The repository does not currently provide quality, speed, memory, or benchmark comparisons against the original weights or other quantizations.
