Basic PSA. PocketPal got updated, so runs Gemma 4.

Resources

Just because I've seen a couple of "I want this on Android" questions, PocketPal got updated a few hours ago, and runs Gemma 4 2B and 4B fine. At least on my hardware (crappy little moto g84 workhorse phone).

I'm going to try and squeak 26B a4 iq2 quantization into 12gigs of ram, on a fresh boot, but I'm almost certain it can't be done due to Android bloat.

But yeah, 2B and 4B work fine and quickly under PocketPal. Hopefully their next one is 7-8B (not 9B), because the new Qwen 3.5 models just skip over memory caps, but the old ones didn't. Super numbers are great, running them with OS overhead and context size needs a bit smaller, to be functional on a 12gig RAM phone.
