DiffusionGemma 26B A4B IT — ModelDeck self-contained GPTQ Q4 g32

ModelDeck source and runtime

This is the self-contained ModelDeck Q4/BF16 hybrid for google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it. It quantizes all 30 Mixture-of-Experts layers to symmetric GPTQ 4-bit weights with group size 32 and packages the remaining model weights in BF16.

The pinned upstream model and revision remain recorded for provenance, but this release does not download or load the upstream checkpoint at runtime. All model, processor, tokenizer, and generation files needed by the ModelDeck loader are included here.

This package is not a standard Transformers or GPTQ checkpoint. Use the custom ModelDeck direct Q4 loader; Ollama, llama.cpp, generic from_pretrained(), and vLLM do not directly understand this hybrid checkpoint layout.

ModelDeck usage

Download the immutable release into ModelDeck's expected checkpoint directory:

hf download ozyjay/diffusiongemma-26b-a4b-it-modeldeck-gptq-q4-g32 `
    --revision v1.1.0 `
    --local-dir var/diffusiongemma-26b-a4b-it-gptq-q4-g32

Then start the isolated worker from the ModelDeck repository:

./scripts/start_diffusiongemma_q4.ps1 -Smoke

Verify every packaged file before use:

./scripts/package_diffusiongemma_q4_release.ps1 -VerifyOnly

Scope and limitations

• Validated for text-diffusion generation on one AMD Radeon 8060S (gfx1151) using the pinned ROCm stack above.
• The Q4 experts reduce memory substantially but are slower than BF16 on the tested hardware.
• The package has not been validated for multimodal generation, other GPUs, other base revisions, or other GPTQ runtimes.
• Compatibility is tied to the ModelDeck source commit above; treat a different loader revision as unvalidated until the release gate passes again.
• Generated output can be inaccurate, biased, or unsafe. Apply task-appropriate safety and factuality checks.
