Gemma 4 E2B SnowFox GGUF

This is the GGUF distribution of gemma4-e2b-Snowfox: a language-only SnowFox LoRA merge based on Google's Gemma 4 E2B instruction QAT-derived checkpoint. The image and audio towers were frozen during SnowFox fine-tuning. The post-merge weights were exported to the four GGUF quantizations below; they were not separately re-QAT calibrated.

Download exactly one LLM quantization, plus the shared projector

LLM file	Size	SHA-256
`gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-Q4_0.gguf`	3,349,516,000 bytes	`105e63469457449dcdc147785c4317b7891a9aafaec2e40bdcbc1b16c6fd8f3b`
`gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-Q4_K_M.gguf`	3,416,120,032 bytes	`f4a38a2a95cefbf91659c355aa80410c9e0b307072c3dc7deca842b2d76d613a`
`gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-Q6_K.gguf`	3,829,835,488 bytes	`e7d2a0c8cc168db9652799d3bfd8198563dc821bae424b4b8ed1a767bbc51537`
`gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-Q8_0.gguf`	4,947,414,752 bytes	`44e7f9dd879f0ae2b18f57f78819e147783b4795738b3d3321f6e20542fa6a68`

For a multimodal-capable llama.cpp-family runtime, also download the shared projector:

Projector file	Size	SHA-256
`gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-BF16-mmproj.gguf`	986,833,408 bytes	`cbc8946d8e6a85714c7f4868302ccd7bf716301b47a5efefe5850eb5348b0a3e`

Q4_K_M is the usual balanced default. Use a recent runtime that supports Gemma 4 E2B and its multimodal projector. This repository intentionally holds all four verified downloadable quantizations in one GGUF-only package.

Example download:

hf download MichaelAnthony/gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-GGUF \
  gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-Q4_K_M.gguf \
  gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-BF16-mmproj.gguf \
  --local-dir ./gemma4-e2b-Snowfox-GGUF

Lineage and validation

Base: google/gemma-4-E2B-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized
Pinned base revision: 6befbaca7398925921802abd1f277b495b78b738
Release claim: QAT-derived; the SnowFox post-LoRA weights were not newly QAT-calibrated.
Internal release gates: required-field accuracy 0.9984962406015038, strict JSON validity 1.0, native tool-call validity 1.0, and contract success 0.9936305732484076.

Those figures are the original held-out SnowFox validation results, not an inference benchmark for every GGUF/runtime combination.
