Gemma-4-E4B-SABER GGUF

This repository contains GGUF conversions of GestaltLabs/Gemma-4-E4B-SABER for llama.cpp-compatible runtimes.

The source model is a Gemma 4 E4B instruction model modified with the SABER/refusal-ablation workflow. These files preserve the source tokenizer and chat template metadata in GGUF form.

`Gemma-4-E4B-SABER-Q2_K.gguf`	Q2_K	4.08 GiB

Quantization Notes

The BF16 GGUF was converted from the original Hugging Face safetensors checkpoint using a local llama.cpp build with Gemma 4 support. The quantized GGUF files were produced from that BF16 GGUF using llama-quantize.

Recommended starting points:

Q8_0: highest-quality quantized option.
Q6_K: strong quality/size tradeoff.
Q4_K_M: compact general-purpose option.
Q2_K and Q3_K_M: smallest files, with larger quality tradeoffs.

No importance matrix was used.

Example

llama-cli \
  -m Gemma-4-E4B-SABER-Q4_K_M.gguf \
  -p "Explain quantum computing in simple terms."

Use a current llama.cpp build with Gemma 4 support.
