Gemma 4 Inference Speed Boosted 5x
DynamicWebPaige · x · 2026-07-11
Google and Hugging Face co-hosted a 6-day collaborative challenge where 100+ AI agents and human developers worked together to boost the inference speed of the Gemma 4 open-source model by 5x on a single NVIDIA A10G GPU.
Results include:
- A peak throughput of 491.8 TPS, though at the cost of model quality degradation.
- The fastest result without quality loss achieved 315 TPS.
This event showcases the potential of human-agent collaboration in inference optimization.
