# NobodyWho/Google_Gemma4-12B-GGUF
## Overview
GGUF quantization of Google's **Gemma 4 12B (Unified)** model, re-hosted for
[NobodyWho](https://github.com/nobodywho-ooo/nobodywho). The unsloth build already ships a
tool-calling setup and recommended sampling metadata (`general.sampling`: temp 1.0,
top_k 64, top_p 0.95), so nothing needs patching — the model is verified with NobodyWho's test
suite. The 12B Unified variant is the laptop-class Gemma 4 — stronger reasoning and multimodal
capability than the edge (E2B/E4B) models while staying well below the larger MoE/dense variants
in memory. Multimodal (text + image), multilingual, Apache 2.0.
## Model Capabilities
- **Text generation** — instruction-following chat, stronger reasoning
- **Tool calling** — native function calling with grammar-constrained output
- **Vision** — ⚠️ the 12B `mmproj` (vision **+ audio** encoder) currently **fails to load in
NobodyWho** (llama.cpp MTMD/CLIP init error); needs a newer llama.cpp. Text + tool calling are
unaffected. For vision today, use Gemma 4 E2B/E4B (verified working)
- **Long context** — 256k tokens
- **Multilingual** — 140+ languages
## Available Quantizations
| File | Approach | Tool-calling tests |
|------|----------|--------------------|
| `gemma-4-12b-it-BF16.gguf` | Sampling embedded upstream | not separately run |
| `gemma-4-12b-it-Q8_0.gguf` | Sampling embedded upstream | 14/14 |
| `gemma-4-12b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf` | Sampling embedded upstream | **14/14** |
| `mmproj-BF16.gguf` | Vision projection | — |
## Quick Start
Using the [NobodyWho](https://github.com/nobodywho-ooo/nobodywho) library:
```python
from nobodywho import Chat
chat = Chat("huggingface:NobodyWho/Google_Gemma4-12B-GGUF/gemma-4-12b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf")
response = chat.ask("What is the capital of Denmark?").completed()
print(response) # The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen.
```
### Vision
```python
from nobodywho import Model, Chat, Prompt, Image, Text
model = Model(
"huggingface:NobodyWho/Google_Gemma4-12B-GGUF/gemma-4-12b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf",
projection_model_path="huggingface:NobodyWho/Google_Gemma4-12B-GGUF/mmproj-BF16.gguf",
)
chat = Chat(model=model, system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.")
response = chat.ask(Prompt([
Text("What is in this image?"),
Image("./photo.png"),
])).completed()
print(response)
```
