	# gemma-4-31B-it MLX 8-bit

	This repository contains an MLX-LM conversion of [google/gemma-4-31B-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-31B-it).

	## Conversion Details

	- Original model: `google/gemma-4-31B-it`
	- Model family: Gemma4
	- Source model type: `gemma4`
	- Model size: 32,682,372,656 parameters
	- Quantization: MLX-LM affine quantization
	- Bits: 8-bit
	- Group size: 64
	- Local MLX folder size at upload time: 30.41 GiB
	- Local safetensors weight size at upload time: 30.38 GiB

	This Gemma conversion follows the MLX-LM Gemma 4 shared-KV topology and uses non-strict checkpoint loading so extra HF tensors outside that topology are discarded during conversion.

	## Usage

	```bash
	mlx_lm.generate --model DreamFoundries/gemma-4-31B-it-8bit --prompt "Hello" --max-tokens 64
	```

	## Benchmarks

	No comparative benchmarks have been run yet. The repository does not currently provide quality, speed, memory, or benchmark comparisons against the original weights or other quantizations.

	## License

	This is a converted/quantized derivative of the original model. Please refer to the original model repository for the upstream license and usage terms: https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-31B-it
