What the gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat numbers mean

The fastest verified result on our board is 95.3 output tok/s on an RTX 3060 x2 at Q4_K_M with a 512-token context. That is about 10.5 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 5.2 seconds. Prompt processing on the same record runs at 1962.1 tok/s, so a 2,000-token prompt is read in about 1.0 seconds. Peak VRAM was measured at 16.0 GB. Across the 2 records we hold for this model the range is 95.3–254.3 tok/s on 2 GPUs, because quantisation, context length and the engine build all move the number.

How much VRAM does gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat need?

gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat has 27.0B parameters. These estimates use the same formula as the VRAM calculator: weights, plus about 15% for a moderate-context KV cache and runtime overhead, plus a small engine floor.

QuantisationEstimated VRAMSmallest card that fits
Q4_K_M (4-bit)18.3 GB24 GB
Q8_0 (8-bit)33.8 GB48 GB
FP16 (16-bit)62.9 GB80 GB

Long contexts and large batches raise the real number — read the smallest card as "possible with a reduced context". Measured throughput is on the benchmark board.
