[!WARNING] Fork compatibility (2026-07-07): the
llama-cpp-turboquantfork is currently based on a llama.cpp revision that predatesgemma4architecture support — it fails with and cannot run this model at all. Until the fork rebases, use (which loads this GGUF fine with standard KV-cache types); the RotorQuant/TurboQuant KV-cache options are not usable with gemma-4 yet.

unknown model architecture: 'gemma4'[!TIP] KV-cache quantization without any fork (recommended, 2026): upstream llama.cpp/Ollama now cover this natively — use
-ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0(~half KV memory, negligible quality loss: perplexity +0.002–0.05) or-ctk q4_0 -ctv q4_0(~quarter memory, ≈7.6% perplexity increase). In Ollama:OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0withOLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1. Keep K and V types symmetric to stay on the fast fused Flash-Attention path. Since April 2026, mainline llama.cpp also applies Hadamard rotation to KV activations (PR #21038), which greatly improves low-bit KV quality (opt-out:LLAMA_ATTN_ROT_DISABLE=1).The RotorQuant/TurboQuant fork flow below is experimental/legacy: the TurboQuant llama.cpp PR was closed without merging (June 2026) and the fork is unmaintained relative to mainline. It is NOT required to use this model.
GGUF Q5_K_M weight-quantized variant of google/gemma-4-E2B-it optimised for use with RotorQuant KV cache compression via a dedicated llama.cpp fork.
Important: RotorQuant KV cache types (
planar3,iso3) are not available in upstream llama.cpp, standard Ollama, or LM Studio. They require a specific llama.cpp fork. The GGUF file itself is a standard GGUF and works with any llama.cpp-compatible runtime using normal KV cache types (f16, q8_0, q4_0, etc.).
| Device | VRAM / RAM | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| CPU host with ≥8 GB RAM | ~1.5 GB | works via llama.cpp; slower than GPU but no accelerator required |
| Apple Silicon (Metal) | ~1.7 GB | llama.cpp Metal backend; fast on M-series unified memory |
| NVIDIA GPU (partial offload) | split between GPU + RAM | offload as many layers as VRAM allows; rest on CPU |
This model combines two independent compression techniques:
| Technique | What it does | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| GGUF Q5_K_M weight quantization | Reduces model size from ~4 GB (BF16) to ~1.4 GB | Any llama.cpp-compatible runtime |

You must build from the RotorQuant-enabled llama.cpp fork:
# Clone and build the fork
git clone https://github.com/johndpope/llama-cpp-turboquant.git
cd llama-cpp-turboquant && git checkout feature/planarquant-kv-cache
# CUDA (Windows/Linux)
cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build -j
# Metal (Apple Silicon)
cmake -B build -DGGML_METAL=ON -DGGML_METAL_EMBED_LIBRARY=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build -j
# Run with RotorQuant KV cache
./build/bin/llama-cli -m gemma-4-E2B-it-RotorQuant-GGUF-Q5_K_M.gguf \
--cache-type-k iso3 --cache-type-v iso3 \
-ngl 99 -fa \
-p "Explain quantum computing"
# Or run as a server
./build/bin/llama-server -m gemma-4-E2B-it-RotorQuant-GGUF-Q5_K_M.gguf \
--cache-type-k iso3 --cache-type-v iso3 \
-ngl 99 -fa --jinja
The GGUF works as a normal quantised model. You won't get RotorQuant-specific KV cache benefits, but standard KV cache quantization (q8_0, q4_0) still reduces VRAM significantly.

RotorQuant is a KV cache compression method based on Clifford algebra (Cl(3,0)) rotors. It was developed as a faster, more parameter-efficient alternative to Google's TurboQuant (ICLR 2026).
Instead of applying a dense d×d random orthogonal rotation matrix (as TurboQuant does), RotorQuant uses lightweight block-diagonal rotations — independent 2D/4D rotations per pair/quartet — achieving O(d) complexity instead of O(d log d), fully parallelisable with no inter-element dependencies.
Benchmarks from the RotorQuant repository (Llama 3.1 8B, RTX 5090 — results will vary by model and hardware):
| Metric | RotorQuant (iso3) | TurboQuant | Standard q4_0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefill Speed | 3,822 tok/s | 722 tok/s | — |
| Decode Speed | 119 tok/s | 93 tok/s | — |
| Perplexity (PPL) | 6.91 | 7.07 | — |
| KV Compression | ~5× vs FP16 | ~5× vs FP16 | ~4× vs FP16 |
| Rotation Parameters | 4 per rotor | 16,384 per matrix | N/A |
Note: These benchmarks are from the RotorQuant repository using Llama 3.1 8B on an RTX 5090. Performance on gemma-4-E2B-it will differ. Independent benchmarks for this specific model are welcome — please open a discussion if you have results to share.
| Runtime | RotorQuant Support | Standard KV Quant |
|---|---|---|
| llama.cpp (upstream) | ❌ Not merged | ✅ q8_0, q4_0, q4_1, iq4_nl, q5_0, q5_1 |
| llama-cpp-turboquant fork | ✅ planar3, iso3 | ✅ All standard types |
| LM Studio | ❌ Requested | ✅ Via advanced settings |
| Ollama | ❌ Not supported | ✅ Via OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE |
| koboldcpp | ❌ Not supported | ✅ Standard types |
For VRAM-constrained setups, standard q8_0 KV cache quantization already halves KV cache memory with negligible quality impact. Flash Attention should always be enabled — it is required for V cache quantization and improves memory efficiency regardless.
