Gemma 4 E4B Instruct Parity GGUF (Q8_0)
This repository contains the canonical GGUF side of the meshllm Gemma 4 parity pair.
- Source checkpoint:
google/gemma-4-E4B-it - Conversion path: original checkpoint -> GGUF ->
Q8_0 - Intended use: backend parity testing against the matching MLX artifact
This artifact is not meant to be a general "best available" Gemma 4 release. It exists so that GGUF and MLX can be compared from the same original model lineage with minimal third-party conversion noise.
Canonical pair:
- GGUF:
meshllm/gemma-4-e4b-it-parity-q8_0-gguf - MLX:
meshllm/gemma-4-e4b-it-parity-8bit-mlx
Latest trusted exact result:
| Backend | Model | Exact |
|---|---|---|
| GGUF | gemma-4-e4b-it-q8_0.gguf |
PASS |
| MLX | meshllm/gemma-4-e4b-it-parity-8bit-mlx |
PASS |
