NobodyWho/Google_Gemma4-E2B-GGUF
Overview
GGUF quantization of Google's Gemma 4 E2B instruction-tuned model, re-hosted for
NobodyWho. The unsloth build already ships a
tool-calling setup and recommended sampling metadata (general.sampling: temp 1.0,
top_k 64, top_p 0.95), so nothing needs patching — the model is verified with NobodyWho's test
suite. E2B is the smallest, most on-device-friendly Gemma 4 variant — multimodal (text + image),
multilingual, and Apache 2.0 licensed.
Model Capabilities
- Text generation — instruction-following chat
- Tool calling — native function calling with grammar-constrained output
- Vision — image understanding via the companion
mmproj-BF16.ggufprojection model - Long context — 128k tokens
- Multilingual — 140+ languages
Available Quantizations

Verified with NobodyWho's tool-calling suite across BF16 / Q8_0 / Q4_K_M (14/14 each, June 2026); vision and multilingual verified per-model. Quant names follow the unsloth
gemma-4-E2B-it-GGUFrepo.
Quick Start
Using the NobodyWho library:
from nobodywho import Chat
chat = Chat("huggingface:NobodyWho/Google_Gemma4-E2B-GGUF/gemma-4-E2B-it-Q4_K_M.gguf")
response = chat.ask("What is the capital of Denmark?").completed()
print(response) # The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen.
Vision
from nobodywho import Model, Chat, Prompt, Image, Text
model = Model(
"huggingface:NobodyWho/Google_Gemma4-E2B-GGUF/gemma-4-E2B-it-Q4_K_M.gguf",
projection_model_path="huggingface:NobodyWho/Google_Gemma4-E2B-GGUF/mmproj-BF16.gguf",
)
chat = Chat(model=model, system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.")
response = chat.ask(Prompt([
Text("What is in this image?"),
Image("./photo.png"),
])).completed()
print(response)
