Gemma 4 E4B IT

NVIDIA
Gemma 4 E4B IT is a multimodal dense transformer model designed for efficient on-device reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows. It features 4.5B effective parameters, around 8B including embeddings, with 42 layers, 2,560 hidden size, and 8 attention heads. The model uses hybrid attention with 512 token sliding window and global layers, supporting up to 128K context with proportional RoPE scaling. It supports text, image, video, and audio with dedicated encoders and is optimized for strong multilingual and multimodal performance.
