Interface permissions for gemma4 snap

Hi team,

We would like to release the gemma4 snap as stable. This is an inference snap that installs a silicon-optimized Gemma 4 engine for local inference. To function, this snap requires access similar to the gemma3 snap. The software stack is identical to the other inference snaps.

  • name: gemma4
  • description: An inference snap, installing a silicon-optimized gemma4 engine
  • snapcraft: gemma4-snap/snap/snapcraft.yaml at main · canonical/gemma4-snap · GitHub
  • upstream: GitHub - canonical/gemma4-snap: Local inference with Gemma4 · GitHub
  • upstream-relation: -
  • interfaces:
    • hardware-observe:
      • request-type: auto-connection
      • reasoning: To detect the host hardware (CPU, accelerator, etc) and install the right engine for AI inference
    • home: + read all
      • request-type: installation, manual connection with read: all attribute
      • reasoning: The engine that runs inside as a root daemon requires access to other users’ home for loading local models based on user configuration. We expect the user to manually connect home if they need to sideload a model.
    • process-control:
      • request-type: auto-connection
      • reasoning: ROCm requires control of processor affinity to ensure that ROCm helper threads run on the correct cores. Anything that loads the ROCm libraries fails without it.

The gemma3 snap has already been reviewed for the same set of interfaces:

Thanks for your support!

This request has been added to the queue for review by the @reviewers team.

Hey @farshidtz

Use of these interfaces has been previously granted to extremely similar software published by the same publisher. For this reason, I’m going ahead and granting the interface without waiting for the voting period. This is now live.

Hi team,

We’re in the process of releasing a few new Qwen snaps that require the same set of permissions. These will use the same software stack as gemma4, so we’d appreciate if your could replicate the permission set.

Here is the list:

Thank you for your support.

This is done. Thanks @jslarraz.
