Text-only repackage of onnx-community/gemma-4-E4B-it-ONNX. Multimodal heads (vision, audio) and non-Q4 quantization variants are stripped; the text decoder + embed table at INT4 (MatMulNBits) are kept as-is.

Why a 2-graph layout

Gemma 4 uses per-layer inputs / per-layer projections (a Mixture-of-Depths-like routing). The community ONNX export splits this into:

embed_tokens_q4 — input_ids → inputs_embeds, per_layer_inputs
decoder_model_merged_q4 — inputs_embeds, per_layer_inputs, attention_mask, position_ids, past_key_values.* → logits, present.*

ORTModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(...).generate() does not orchestrate this 2-graph pattern as of optimum==1.x / optimum==2.x dev. Use the custom loop below.
