Developer builds offline AI career advisor using Gemma 4

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A computer science instructor developed an offline AI career advisor named GuidanceOS, designed to run entirely on a local GPU without internet access. The system utilizes Google's Gemma 4 model, specifically the `gemma-4-e4b-it` variant, which was loaded using 4-bit quantization to fit within 15GB of VRAM. For matching user skills to jobs and courses, the advisor employs a TF-IDF index built from over 130,000 LinkedIn job postings and Coursera course records, ensuring fast and reproducible results. AI
