Model reference · open weights
gemma-4-E-assistant is an open-weight language model from google, listed in the AxForge catalogue. AxForge can bring it up on EU-owned hardware for you on request — with the licence handled where one is required.
About
[!Note] This model card is for the Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for the Gemma 4 models. MTP is implemented by extending the base model with a smaller, faster draft model. When used in a Speculative Decoding pipeline, the draft model predicts several tokens ahead, which the target model then verifies in parallel. This results in significant decoding speedups (up to 3x) while guaranteeing the exact same quality as standard generation, making these checkpoints perfect for low-latency and on-device applications. Gemma is a family of open models built by Google DeepMind. Gemma 4 models are multimodal, handling text and image input (with audio supported on E2B, E4B, and 12B) and generating text output. This release includes open-weights models in both pre-trained and instruction-tuned variants. Gemma 4 features a context window of up to 256K tokens and maintains multilingual support in over 140 languages. Featuring both Dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, Gemma 4 is well-suited for tasks like text generation, coding, and reasoning. The models are available in five distinct sizes: E2B, E4B, 12B, 26B A4B, and 31B. Their diverse sizes make them deployable in environments ranging from high-end phones to laptops and servers, democratizing access to state-of-the-art AI. Gemma 4 introduces key capability and architectural advancements: Reasoning – All models in the family are designed as highly capable reasoners, with configurable thinking modes. Extended Multimodalities – Processes Text, Image with variable aspect ratio and resolution support (all models), Video, and Audio (featured natively on the E2B, E4B, and 12B models). Diverse & Efficient Architectures – Offers Dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) variants of different sizes for scalable deployment. Optimized for On-Device – Smaller models are specifically designed for efficient local execution on laptops and mobile devices. Increased Context Window – The small models feature a 128K context window, while the medium models support 256K. Enhanced Coding & Agentic Capabilities – Achieves notable improvements in coding benchmarks alongside native function-calling support, powering highly capable auton

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys gemma-4-e-assistant for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (gemma-4-e-assistant below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
