About Gemma4All
What this site is
Gemma4All is an independent publication focused on one thing: helping you run Google's Gemma 4 models locally, on hardware you already own. We publish step-by-step deployment guides, hardware requirement breakdowns, benchmark analyses, and practical comparisons — written for developers and enthusiasts who want local, private AI without a PhD in machine learning.
Why we exist
Official model documentation tells you what a model can do; it rarely tells you whether it will actually run on your MacBook Air, your mini PC, or your aging RTX 3060 — and what the experience is like when it does. We fill that gap with concrete numbers: memory footprints, quantization trade-offs, tokens-per-second on real consumer hardware, and honest notes on what breaks along the way.
How we work
- Hands-on first. Setup guides are based on actually running the models with tools like Ollama and LM Studio, not on paraphrasing release notes.
- Sources cited. Benchmark figures reference official model cards, leaderboards, and published evaluations, with links so you can verify them yourself.
- Kept current. The local-AI ecosystem moves fast. We revisit guides when new model variants or tool versions change the picture.
- Numbers explained, not just asserted. Every memory figure and quantization number on this site traces back to a stated source or a documented formula — see our methodology page for the exact calculations and where each number comes from.
Who is behind it
Gemma4All is built and maintained by a single independent developer with about 15 years of product and software development experience, now working full-time on AI-native tools and content. They run local models — including Gemma — on their own hardware day to day, and write these guides from that hands-on experience rather than from paraphrasing press releases. It is a one-person operation by design: no editorial team, no outsourced writers, no content farm.
