## Faster Gemma 4 on Apple Silicon <img width="1037" height="485" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-30 at 5 25 29 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/547d5076-090f-43c4-a661-938e11abc955" /> Gemma 4 is now significantly faster in Ollama on Apple Silicon, generating tokens nearly 90% faster on average across a coding-agent benchmark by leveraging multi-token prediction (MTP). Ollama auto-tunes how many tokens to draft as it runs, so the speedup is on by default, requires no configuration, and does not change the model's output. ## What's Changed - Tightened Gemma 4 MoE model loading in the MLX engine - Updated the MLX engine to the latest version, including a new small-batch matmul kernel - Updated the underlying llama.cpp engine to build 9840 - Improved Gemma 4 multi-token prediction (MTP) performance **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/compare/v0.30.12...v0.31.1
