"ppl_withheld": "Perplexity is not reported for this family, but not because the measurement is broken: llama-perplexity adds the leading BOS this architecture needs (llama.cpp forces it for gemma4), and an independent HF implementation of the same protocol agrees to within 0.08 PPL (160.9418 vs 160.8636) with identical tokenization, so the number is a faithful property of the checkpoint. It is withheld because raw-wikitext perplexity is not a meaningful quality signal for an instruct-only model: the median token is predicted well (1.88 nats, 44% top-1) while the mean is dominated by a heavy tail where the chat-tuned model is out of distribution on plain text, and the result is not monotone in quantization width. Upstream guidance is to measure the base checkpoint or chat-formatted data. The raw ppl-*.log files are still on disk. See docs/gemma4-plan.md."
