> Note: I tried to hook this one up to OpenClaw and ran into issues

Anyone worked on hooking up OpenClaw to gemma4 running locally?

It would be very helpful if the chat logs could (optionally) be retained.

I really like Enclave for on-device models - looks like they're about to add Gemma 4 too: https://enclaveai.app/blog/2026/04/02/gemma-4-release-on-dev...

This is fun, FYI you don’t have to sign in/up with a Google account. I hesitated downloading it for that reason.

This is also on Android and has an option to use AICore with the NPU which can run much faster than even the GPU models.

I think with this google starts a new race- best local model that runs on phones.

I spent some time getting Gemma4-e4b working via llamacpp on iPhone and I'm really impressed so far! I posted a short video of an example application on LinkedIn here https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7446746... (or x: https://x.com/danielrmay/status/2040971117419192553)

Gemma 4 E4B is an incredible model for doing all the home assistant stuff I normally just used Qwen3.5 35BA4B + Whisper while leaving me with wayy more empty vram for other bullshit. It works as a drop in replacement for all of my "turn the lights off" or "when's the next train" type queries and does a good job of tool use. This is the really the first time vramlets get a model that's reliably day to day useful locally.

I'm curious/worried about the audio capability, I'm still using Whisper as the audio support hasn't landed in llama.cpp, and I'm not excited enough to temporarily rewire my stuff to use vLLM or whatever their reference impl is. The vision capabilities of Gemma are notably (thus far, could be impl specific issues?) much much worse than Qwen (even the big moe and dense gemma are much worse), hopefully the audio is at least on par with medium whisper.

I asked it about the “Altamont Free Concert” (exact name of Wikipedia article), and it’s been a while since I’ve seen an hallucination this rich. Doesn’t give me confidence to use it.

I have been looking at ARGmax https://www.argmaxinc.com/#SDK for running on apple devices, but not sure yet at whats involved in porting a model to work with their sdk
