I just tried with llama.cpp RTX4090 (24GB) GGUF unsloth quant UD_Q4_K_XL
You can probably run them all. G4 31B runs at ~5tok/s , G4 26B A4B runs at ~150 tok/s.
You can run Q3.5-35B-A3B at ~100 tok/s.
I tried G4 26B A4B as a drop-in replacement of Q3.5-35B-A3B for some custom agents and G4 doesn't respect the prompt rules at all. (I added <|think|> in the system prompt as described (but have not spend time checking if the reasoning was effectively on). I'll need to investigate further but it doesn't seem promising.
I also tried G4 26B A4B with images in the webui, and it works quite well.
I have not yet tried the smaller models with audio.

That's what I meant by "waiting a few days for updates" in my other comment. Qwen 3.5 release, I remember a lot of complaints about: "tool calling isn't working properly" etc.
That was fixed shortly after: there was some template parsing work in llama.cpp. and unsloth pulled out some models and brought back better one for improving something else I can't quite remember, better done Quantization or something...
The model does call tools successfully giving sensible parameters but it seems to not picking the right ones in the right order.
I'll try in a few days. It's great to be able to test it already a few hours after the release. It's the bleeding edge as I had to pull the last from main. And with all the supply chain issues happening everywhere, bleeding edge is always more risky from a security point of view.
There is always also the possibility to fine-tune the model later to make sure it can complete the custom task correctly. But the code for doing some Lora for gemma4 is probably not yet available. The 50% extra speed seems really tempting.
Thank you. I have the same card, and I noticed the same ~100 TPS when I ran Q3.5-35B-A3B. G4 26B A4B running at 150TPS is a 50% performance gain. That's pretty huge.
