| # 🧠 Gemma 4 (9B) - Imatrix Quantized (IQ4_XS) | |
| This is a highly optimized, heavily quantized 4-bit (IQ4_XS) GGUF version of Google's **Gemma 4**. | |
| The quantization was performed using a custom **Importance Matrix (imatrix)** to ensure maximum retention of the model's reasoning capabilities and its massive 262k vocabulary, while aggressively shrinking the file size. | |
| Optimized and compiled by **Krasnopjorovs** ([Artjoms](https://artjoms.ai)). | |
| ## 🌍 Multilingual Capabilities | |
| Thanks to the preserved 262,144 token vocabulary and custom imatrix, this model exhibits exceptional multilingual logic. | |
| **Supported languages include (but are strictly not limited to):** | |
| English, Russian, German, French, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic. | |
| During testing, the model successfully performed highly technical translations involving complex alphabets and provided unprompted transliteration (Pinyin, Romaji) and literal translation breakdowns. | |
| ## 📊 Model Specifications | |
| * **Base Model:** Google Gemma 4 (~8-9B parameters) | |
| * **Quantization Format:** IQ4_XS (GGUF) | |
| * **Optimization:** Custom Imatrix applied | |
| * **File Size:** ~4.71 GB | |
| * **Context Size:** 131,072 tokens (Native Training Context) | |
| * **Vocabulary Size:** 262,144 tokens | |
| * **License:** Apache 2.0 | |
| ## ⚡ Hardware & Performance | |
| This specific build is engineered for universal compatibility and maximum throughput. Because of its extremely lightweight footprint (~4.71 GB), it can run efficiently across a massive variety of hardware setups—from edge devices to enterprise AI clusters. | |
| **Deployment Flexibility:** | |
| * **Universal GPU Support:** Comfortably fits entirely into the VRAM of almost any modern consumer or workstation GPU (8GB+ capacity), ensuring zero offloading bottlenecks. | |
| * **CPU/RAM Fallback:** Runs highly efficiently even on CPU-only configurations, provided there is sufficient standard system memory (e.g., DDR4/DDR5 ECC). | |
| * **Professional Workstations:** Achieves ultra-high token generation speeds on enterprise-grade architectures and multi-GPU arrays. | |
| * **RAG & Vector Search:** Perfect for local Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines (e.g., processing massive vector databases) where blazing-fast inference and large context windows (up to 131k) are critical. | |
| ## 🛠️ Usage with `llama.cpp` | |
| This model is fully compatible with `llama.cpp` and frontends like **Open WebUI**. | |
| **CLI Example:** | |
| ```bash | |
| ./main -m gemma-4-E4B-IQ4_XS.gguf -n 512 -c 8192 --color -i -p "Your prompt here" | |
