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-E4B-it-8bit --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.
