What is the issue?

I'm trying to build a model with Modelfile from mlx-community/gemma-4-e4b-4bit quantized mlx model.
I have pulled the model files with hf download, the Modelfile is basically the same as ollama's gemma4:e2b:

FROM /Volumes/EXT_SSD/mlx-community_gemma-4-e4b-4bit

TEMPLATE {{ .Prompt }}
RENDERER gemma4
PARSER gemma4
PARAMETER top_p 0.95
PARAMETER temperature 1
PARAMETER top_k 64
LICENSE """                                Apache License

I'm doing this to try to fit the e4b model onto a 8Gb Mac Mini, which I actually run creating on:

GOMAXPROCS=1 ollama create gemma4:e4b-4bit -f gemma4_e4b_4bit.Modelfile --experimental

and after a couple of seconds thinking it just quits:

importing safetensors model ⠧ zsh: killed     GOMAXPROCS=1 ollama create gemma4:e4b-4bit -f gemma4_e4b_4bit.Modelfile --experimental

Is it running out of memory or is there some internal error?
