Libraries

How to use hexoy/gemma-4-e2b-distilled with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="hexoy/gemma-4-e2b-distilled", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("hexoy/gemma-4-e2b-distilled", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")

	Gemma 4 E2B Monarch model

	This model is derived from google/gemma-4-E2B-it.

	Modifications:
	- Replaced language-model MLP layers 34, 33, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 with two-factor rectangular
	Monarch linear maps.
	- Initialized factors by rank-one SVD projection of each dense Monarch slice.
	- Distilled the modified layers against the original model.
