gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-F32-GGUF

Gemma-4-26B-A4B-it from Google is a 26B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) multimodal model with only 3.8B-4B active parameters per forward pass (8 active + 1 shared expert from 128 total), delivering near-equivalent quality to the dense 31B sibling at dramatically lower compute/memory cost while supporting 256K context length, 1024-token sliding window, text+image modalities (variable aspect ratio/resolution), and advanced agentic capabilities. Featuring 30 layers and 262K vocabulary across 140+ languages, the instruction-tuned variant excels at reasoning (configurable thinking modes), coding, OCR/handwriting recognition, document parsing, UI analysis, chart comprehension, and object detection with pointing—optimized for high-throughput server/workstation deployment on NVIDIA/AMD GPUs via vLLM/llama.cpp with Apache 2.0 licensing. Positioned between edge-focused E2B/E4B and flagship 31B models in the Gemma 4 family, it balances frontier-level multimodal intelligence with production-scale efficiency for enterprise agents, function calling, and structured data workflows.

Quants Usage

(sorted by size, not necessarily quality. IQ-quants are often preferable over similar sized non-IQ quants)

Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant types (lower is better):
