+>Gemma 4 models (`pyt_vllm_gemma-4-*`) are built from `vllm/vllm-openai-rocm:gemma4` (see [`docker/pyt_vllm_gemma4.ubuntu.amd.Dockerfile`](../../docker/pyt_vllm_gemma4.ubuntu.amd.Dockerfile)). Accept Google’s Gemma license on Hugging Face and set `MAD_SECRETS_HFTOKEN` for gated weight downloads.

+Serving recipes for Gemma 4 live in [`scripts/vllm/configs/default.yaml`](../../scripts/vllm/configs/default.yaml). Both Gemma 4 entries use **tensor parallel size 1**, **`TRITON_ATTN`**, **`float16` on gfx942** (via `arch_overrides`), **`--max-model-len` 32768**, text-only multimodal limits (`--limit-mm-per-prompt`), and **`VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER=1`** where supported.

+| **google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it** | Sparse MoE (“A4B”). **AITER fused MoE is disabled** via **`VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER_MOE=0`** so MoE runs on the **Triton** path. **Concurrency sweep is narrowed to 1 and 8** only for typical MAD Docker memory limits. |
