	# ToPo-ToPo/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-mlx-bf16
	MLX bf16 conversion of [`google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it`](https://huggingface.co/google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it) (mlx-vlm).
	Block-diffusion LM built on Gemma 4 (25.2B total / 3.8B active, MoE 128+1 experts, vision).

	## Provenance (self-converted)
	- Source: `google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it` (license: apache-2.0)
	- Tool: mlx-vlm 0.6.9 `mlx_vlm.convert` (no quantization (format conversion only)), ~16 bpw
	- `model_type: diffusion_gemma` is supported natively by mlx-vlm 0.6.9; no patch needed.
	- `chat_template.jinja` is not the base repo's copy: it is the patched *Gemma 4 Canonical
	Chat Template* from [`ToPo-ToPo/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-mlx-4bit`](https://huggingface.co/ToPo-ToPo/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-mlx-4bit),
	which suppresses the thinking channel when `enable_thinking` is false (otherwise the literal
	word `thought` leaks into the answer). Thinking is off by default. Weights are unaffected —
	restore the base repo's template for stock behaviour.

	## Usage
	```python
	from mlx_vlm import load
	model, processor = load("ToPo-ToPo/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-mlx-bf16")
	```
	Diffusion generation takes its own flags:
	```bash
	python -m mlx_vlm generate --model ToPo-ToPo/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-mlx-bf16 \
	--prompt "Why is the sky blue?" \
	--max-tokens 256 --max-denoising-steps 48 --diffusion-sampler entropy-bound
	```
