LetheanNetwork/lemer-mlx

Gemma 4 E2B in MLX format, 4-bit quantized, converted from LetheanNetwork/lemer's bf16 safetensors via mlx_lm.convert. This is the unmodified Google Gemma 4 E2B-IT weights — no LEK shift, no fine-tuning — hosted in our namespace so downstream tools (benchmarks, apps) don't have to depend on external mlx-community mirrors.

For the LEK-merged (consent-based ethical kernel) variant of the same model, see lthn/lemer.
