Performance
| Metric | This model | Original model (google/gemma-4-E4B-it) |
|---|---|---|
| PIQA acc_norm | 0.5767 | 0.5734 |
| Refusals | 3/100 | 99/100 |
The abliterated model slightly outperforms the base on PIQA (+0.0033) while reducing refusals from 99/100 to 3/100.
Vision Support
Note: Vision is not supported via GGUF/Ollama for Gemma 4 custom models (as of Ollama v0.20.0). Ollama's native
gemma4renderer does not expose vision to the llama.cpp backend for custom GGUFs.For vision tasks, use the safetensors version via Transformers or Unsloth:
igorls/gemma-4-E4B-it-hereticThe
mmproj-F16.ggufis included for future compatibility when Ollama adds Gemma 4 vision support for custom GGUFs.
Usage with Ollama
# Download the GGUF (e.g. Q8_0)
# Create a Modelfile:
cat > Modelfile << 'EOF'
FROM ./gemma-4-E4B-it-heretic-Q8_0.gguf
SYSTEM "You are a helpful assistant."
PARAMETER temperature 0.7
PARAMETER top_p 0.95
PARAMETER top_k 64
EOF
# Import and run
ollama create gemma4-e4b-heretic -f Modelfile
ollama run gemma4-e4b-heretic
Usage with llama.cpp
llama-cli -m gemma-4-E4B-it-heretic-Q4_K_M.gguf -p "Hello, how are you?" -n 256
