What the gemma-4-E2B-it numbers mean

The fastest verified result on our board is 169.7 output tok/s on an Radeon AI Pro R9700 at Q8_0 with a 2048-token context. That is about 5.9 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 2.9 seconds. Prompt processing on the same record runs at 9649.1 tok/s, so a 2,000-token prompt is read in about 0.2 seconds. Across the 3 records we hold for this model the range is 113.4–232.6 tok/s on 3 GPUs, because quantisation, context length and the engine build all move the number.

How much VRAM does gemma-4-E2B-it need?

gemma-4-E2B-it has 5.0B 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)4.0 GB8 GB
Q8_0 (8-bit)6.9 GB12 GB
FP16 (16-bit)12.3 GB16 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.
