What it takes to serve Gemma-4-26B-A4B-NVFP4 (14.4B parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Sep 18, 2026.

SAVRN's Notes on Gemma-4-26B-A4B-NVFP4

NVIDIA cut this build from Google's gemma-4-26B-A4B-it with its Model Optimizer tooling. It generates text from text, image and frame-by-frame video input over a 262,144 token context. The 4-bit row needs 8.6 GB of memory and the 16-bit row 34.5 GB, and the cheapest host for either is one 192 GB MI300X at $1.85 per hour on demand, which leaves most of the card free for that context.

Nothing in Apache 2.0 blocks a commercial deployment or a modified fork; keep the license and NOTICE file with it and state significant changes. Reconcile the parameter count first: the page counts 14.4 billion while the name carries 26B and A4B, and the base model page is where to settle it. Released May 1, 2026, this file has no per-token host price in the SAVRN Index yet, so $1.85 an hour is the cost figure to plan on.

Model Overview

Description:

Gemma 4 26B IT is an open multimodal model built by Google DeepMind that handles text and image inputs, can process video as sequences of frames, and generates text output. It is designed to deliver frontier-level performance for reasoning, agentic workflows, coding, and multimodal understanding on consumer GPUs and workstations, with a 256K-token context window and support for over 140 languages. The model uses a hybrid attention mechanism that interleaves local sliding-window and full global attention, with unified Keys and Values in global layers and Proportional RoPE (p-RoPE) to support long-context performance. The NVIDIA Gemma 4 26B IT NVFP4 model is quantized with NVIDIA Model Optimizer.

This model is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

Qwen1.5-MoE-A2.7B

Qwen

Qwen1.5-MoE is a transformer-based MoE decoder-only language model pretrained on a large amount of data. For more details, please refer to our blog post and GitHub repo. Qwen1.5-MoE employs Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, where the models are upcycled from dense language models. For instance, Qwen1.5-MoE-A2.7B is upcycled from Qwen-1.8B. It has 14.3B parameters in total and 2.7B activated parameters during runtime, while achieving comparable performance to Qwen1.5-7B, it only requires 25% of the training resources. We also observed that the inference speed is 1.74 times that of Qwen1.5-7B. The code of Qwen1.5-MoE has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to…
