FAQ

How much RAM do I need to run Gemma 4 26B-A4B on a phone?

At Q4_0, Gemma 4 26B-A4B needs ~17.5GB of usable memory (weights + KV cache + runtime). In practice that means a 24GB+ Android phone or no current iPhone — iOS lets a single app use less of its RAM than Android does.

How fast does Gemma 4 26B-A4B run on a flagship phone?

On the OnePlus 13 (Snapdragon 8 Elite) it runs at ~15.6 tokens/s at Q4_0, estimated from memory bandwidth. Anything above ~8 tokens/s feels smooth for chat.

Can an iPhone run Gemma 4 26B-A4B?

Not really: the best iPhone we track (iPhone 16 Pro Max) has ~5.2GB usable, but Gemma 4 26B-A4B needs 17.5GB at Q4_0.

What is the best quantization of Gemma 4 26B-A4B for mobile?

Q4_0 (14.4GB download) is the size/quality sweet spot. Total memory needed is ~17.5GB once the KV cache and runtime are counted — the download size alone understates it.

How many phones can run Gemma 4 26B-A4B?

3 of the 99 phones we track fit it at Q4_0; 3 run it smoothly. The rest fall short on usable RAM.

What is Gemma 4 26B-A4B good for on a phone?

It's tagged for chat, vision, reasoning. At 26B parameters (4B active — it's a MoE, so it decodes faster than its size suggests), it prioritizes answer quality over speed — expect slower decoding.
