Gemma 4 E2B instruction-tuned model packaged as a .litertlm file for the LiteRT-LM framework, made for private on-device use on phones, desktops and edge devices. gemma-4-E2B-it-litert-lm is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by litert-community ## About ### What it is gemma-4-E2B-it-litert-lm is the Gemma 4 E2B instruction-tuned model from Google, repackaged by litert-community. It comes as a .litertlm file for LiteRT-LM, a framework for running generative models on a device. The card names Android, iOS, desktop, IoT and the web as places it can run. Running it on the device keeps your use private and works without an internet connection. ### Who it suits It suits app developers and edge engineers who want a small language model inside their own app or device. People who only want to chat can try it through Google's AI Edge Gallery app, which the card links. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Mobile apps | Android and iOS developers | Put a small model inside an app | An offline assistant feature | | IoT and edge | Embedded engineers | Run a model on a device without a network link | A local helper on a gadget | | Desktop software | Developers | Add on-device text generation to a program | A writing aid that keeps data local | | Privacy-minded teams | Product teams | Keep prompts on the user's device | A private note summarizer | Skip it if you want a large hosted model and have no need to run on a device. ### Where to use it - The LiteRT-LM framework, which reads .litertlm files - Android, iOS, desktop, IoT and web targets, per the card - Google AI Edge Gallery, the showcase app built on the same stack - Windows, macOS or Linux for the file download, with Python | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | On-device chat | App developers | Text replies with no network needed | | Function calling | Agent builders | The model can call functions through the LiteRT-LM APIs | | Low-memory runs | Edge engineers | Text-only use with weights as small as 0.8 GB | ### How to set it up You need a few things in place first. - Python and pip, for the download command - The LiteRT-LM framework for your target platform - Memory for the model, as low as 0.8 GB for text-only use according to the card 1. Install the Hugging Face hub package with pip. 2. Download the repository with the hf command. 3. Load the .litertlm file in LiteRT-LM. The model card and the LiteRT-LM documentation hold the run details. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download litert-community/gemma-4-E2B-it-litert-lm ``` ### How to use it You use the file through LiteRT-LM, which handles prompt templates, the key-value cache and function calling. The card also points to the Google AI Edge Gallery app and to a LiteRT-LM command line tool for trying the model. ### Example You put the file in a mobile app built on LiteRT-LM and ask the model to summarize a short note. The text stays on the phone, and the card says the model works without an internet connection. ### For newcomers and experts The easiest first try is the Google AI Edge Gallery app, which the card links for Android and iOS. Developers can then move on to the file itself. The card describes a mobile quantization scheme that mixes 2-bit, 4-bit and 8-bit weights. For text-only use the weights can fit in as little as 0.8 GB, while memory mapping serves the 1.12 GB of embedding parameters. The vision and audio models load on demand to save more memory. LiteRT supplies XNNPack for the CPU and ML Drift for the GPU. Download the .litertlm file → Load it in LiteRT-LM → Send a prompt on the device → Get a reply without a network ### Good to know - License: Apache 2.0 - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: it downloads files from Hugging Face, and once loaded the model runs on the device ## README ````markdown # gemma-4-E2B-it-litert-lm Gemma 4 E2B instruction-tuned model packaged as a .litertlm file for the LiteRT-LM framework, made for private on-device use on phones, desktops and edge devices.
