From running quick evals I'm getting only 58% on MMLU for the base model and 69% on instruct. Compared to our implementation at Fireworks (https://fireworks.ai/models/fireworks/gemma2-9b-it), the numerics diverge at sliding window attention (i.e., after the 2nd, 4th, etc. layer).

Disabling the sliding window (which should be equivalent as MMLU prompts are shorter than the window) brings results back to 71%. E.g.:

I didn't find the exact bug, but worth investigating.
