Gemma 4-E2B model efficiently served on single TPU v6e chip

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Google Gemma 4-E2B model, a 2-billion-parameter language model, has been successfully served on a single TPU v6e chip, achieving a throughput of 213 tokens per second for a single user and scaling to approximately 2,200 tokens per second across concurrent streams. This configuration also demonstrated accurate handling of OpenAI-style function calls and basic vision queries. However, attempts to load quantized versions of the Gemma 4 model failed due to unimplemented quantization paths and loader bugs related to layer normalization requirements. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates efficient serving of smaller LLMs on specialized hardware, potentially lowering inference costs for specific applications.
