Show HN: Maple – Sub-2-BPW Moe Pruning to Run Gemma 4 26B at 45 TPS on a 6GB GPU
Maple pruning technique runs Gemma 26B at 45 TPS on 6GB GPU.
“HN: 13 pts”
Why it matters
Running large models efficiently on modest GPUs (6GB) shrinks the hardware footprint and cost required for AI inference, potentially commoditizing model deployment and reducing demand for high-end accelerators in some inference workloads.
