# kerasformers/gemma-4-e4b-it

Pure-**Keras 3** conversion of [`google/gemma-4-E4B-it`](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-E4B-it) for
[kerasformers](https://github.com/IMvision12/KerasFormers). One implementation runs unmodified on
**TensorFlow / Torch / JAX**. This is the **8B** variant, served here as
**image + audio + text -> text** via `Gemma4Processor`; weights are stored in **bfloat16**.

For model details, license, and usage terms, see Google's
[model card](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-E4B-it).

## ✨ Quick start

### Text-only

```python
import os
os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "torch"  # or "jax" / "tensorflow"

from kerasformers.models.gemma4 import Gemma4TextGenerate, Gemma4Tokenizer

model = Gemma4TextGenerate.from_weights("kerasformers/gemma-4-e4b-it")
tokenizer = Gemma4Tokenizer.from_weights("kerasformers/gemma-4-e4b-it")

inputs = tokenizer([{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, who are you?"}])
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=64)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

### Image + audio + text

```python
import os
os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "torch"  # or "jax" / "tensorflow"

from PIL import Image
from kerasformers.models.gemma4 import Gemma4ConditionalGenerate, Gemma4Processor

model = Gemma4ConditionalGenerate.from_weights("kerasformers/gemma-4-e4b-it")
processor = Gemma4Processor.from_weights("kerasformers/gemma-4-e4b-it")

inputs = processor(conversation=[
    {"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "image", "image": Image.open("cat.jpg")},
        {"type": "audio", "path": "clip.wav"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "Describe the image and what you hear."},
    ]}
])
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=64)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0]))
```

Load any Gemma 4 variant the same way with `from_weights("kerasformers/<variant>")`:

## Tips

- Set `KERAS_BACKEND` **before** importing Keras / kerasformers.
- Loads in **bfloat16** by default. Pass `load_dtype="float32"` for full precision,
  or `quantization="int8"` to shrink further.
- See the [Gemma 4 docs](https://imvision12.github.io/KerasFormers/gemma4/).
- Community / upstream weights still work via the `hf:` prefix:
  `Gemma4ConditionalGenerate.from_weights("hf:google/gemma-4-E4B-it")`.

## Special Thanks

A huge thank you to the Google Gemma authors for creating and releasing these models.
