+"""Per-expert bitsandbytes Linear4bit swap for Gemma-4 MoE experts.
+
+Refs: https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth/issues/5344
+
+Gemma4TextExperts stores all experts as two fused 3D Parameters
+(gate_up_proj, down_proj) shaped (num_experts, out_dim, in_dim) so that
+torch._grouped_mm can dispatch a single grouped matmul per layer. The
+fused storage is great for forward throughput but breaks bnb 4-bit
+quantization: bnb.nn.Linear4bit only swaps nn.Linear instances, so the
+fused 3D Parameters stay in BF16, defeating QLoRA VRAM savings.
+
+This module swaps each Gemma4TextExperts module's fused weights for two
+nn.ModuleList[Linear4bit] of length num_experts, and overrides forward to
+dispatch per-expert. The trade-off is the loss of torch._grouped_mm
+throughput in exchange for a ~4x reduction in expert weight VRAM
+(measured on unsloth/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it: 46 GB -> 14.27 GB resident).
+
+Gated on UNSLOTH_GEMMA4_MOE_4BIT (default off) and on load_in_4bit=True.
+Default off until the matching per-expert LoRA path lands; opt in via
+the env var if you want the VRAM win without QLoRA training.
