AX-gemma-4-26b-a4b-MLX-AXQ-6bit-MTP

Checkpoint Tier 1 certified on df-macbookpro-m5 (2026-08-09) for Hub commit 4a62bf66aa74. Measured size vs matched uniform baseline, quality retention ≥0.98, and conversion integrity. Tier 1 is not a speed claim: MTP acceleration is not certified. See the certificate.

AXQuant mixed-precision (AXQ) Gemma 4 target with multi-token prediction (MTP) — named like the Qwen AXQ-MTP line (…-MLX-AXQ-*-MTP).

Property	Value
Product class	AXQ 6bit
Target size	26B-A4B
Measured BPW	~6.00
Hub id	`AutomatosX/AX-gemma-4-26b-a4b-MLX-AXQ-6bit-MTP`
Hub commit	`4a62bf66aa74f2063bbbf3ad0ff2cbdc72dc5bcb`
Engine pair	`gemma-4-26b-a4b-it` ↔ `gemma-4-26b-a4b-it-assistant`
MTP layout	`assistant/` + `ax_gemma4_assistant_mtp.json` (Gemma assistant-MTP)
Certification host	`df-macbookpro-m5`

Layout

./                          # AXQ target weights (+ vision sidecar when present)
assistant/                  # gemma4_assistant drafter
ax_gemma4_assistant_mtp.json
ax_composite_pack_manifest.json
axquant_*.json

Naming follows Qwen AXQ MTP packs: the -MTP suffix means MTP assets are in-repo.

Certification

Claim	Status
Checkpoint Tier 1 (size + quality + load)	Certified on `df-macbookpro-m5`
MTP acceleration Tier 2	Not certified (assistant-MTP is present for product completeness only)
Vision / multimodal quality	Not claimed

Certificate: gemma4-26b-a4b-axq6-tier1.md

Runtime (AX Engine)

export AX_MLX_GEMMA4_ASSISTANT_MTP=1
export AX_MLX_GEMMA4_ASSISTANT_MTP_MAX_DEPTH=2
# load AutomatosX/AX-gemma-4-26b-a4b-MLX-AXQ-6bit-MTP as local snapshot root / --mlx-model-artifacts-dir

Default product text route remains direct decode unless you explicitly enable assistant-MTP.

Modalities (capability-gated)

Text checkpoint Tier 1 does not imply vision or audio quality. Vision present=true on a pack is not a quality pass.

Modality	Claim	Supported	Reason
Vision	`present-not-certified`	`true`	vision present sidecar=['vision.safetensors']; mlx-vlm smoke failed on df-macstudio-m2 (mlx-vlm expects vision_tower.*; sidecar/layout mismatch). Text Tier 1 unchanged. Evidence: docs/certifications/evidence/modality-recert-capability-gated/results/AX-gemma-4-26b-a4b-MLX-AXQ-6bit-MTP.json
Audio	`not-applicable`	`false`	audio not supported (no tower config and no sidecar weights)
