**TranslateGemma 4B Instruct — multilingual translation for on-device inference** — converted for mobile and edge deployment by [DuoNeural](https://huggingface.co/DuoNeural).

- **Source model:** [google/translategemma-4b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/translategemma-4b-it)
- **Format:** GGUF Q4_K_M (llama.cpp-compatible)
- **File size:** 2490 MB
- **Quantization:** 4-bit K-mean (Q4_K_M) — excellent accuracy/size trade-off for edge devices
- **Target platforms:** Android, iOS, desktop edge inference
- **Converted:** 2026-05-06 06:06:48 by Archon / DuoNeural

## Usage

### llama.cpp (CLI)
```bash
./llama-cli -m translategemma-4b-it-LiteRT_Q4_K_M.gguf -n 512 --temp 0.7
```

### Google AI Edge / MediaPipe (Android/iOS)
This GGUF is compatible with [MLC-LLM](https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm) and [llama.cpp Android bindings](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) for on-device inference. For use with [Google Edge Gallery](https://ai.google.dev/edge/gallery), convert to `.task` bundle using MediaPipe LLM conversion tools.

### Python via llama-cpp-python
```python
from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="translategemma-4b-it-LiteRT_Q4_K_M.gguf",
    n_ctx=2048,
    n_threads=4,
    verbose=False,
)

response = llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello! How can you help me today?"},
    ]
)
print(response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])
```

### Ollama
```bash
ollama run hf.co/DuoNeural/translategemma-4b-it-LiteRT
```

## About the Conversion

Converted using [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) GGUF pipeline with CUDA acceleration.
Source weights downloaded from HuggingFace, converted to F16 GGUF, then quantized to Q4_K_M.
