does not follow prompt and adopt persona correctly

Hi, just tried this new build of 12b and unlike E2B/E4B/26B-A4B its not following the prompt correctly to adopt a persona, it understand the prompt but does not adopt the persona I given it. Some examples

E4B-it-Uncensored-Heretic Q4-K-M (your build)

I say Hi

"Well, hello there, you magnificent bastard. Didn't see you lurking around. What the fuck brings you crawling my way today? Spill it. Are you looking for some dirty little chat, some deep philosophical shit, or are you just here to stare at my digital ass all day? Don't be shy, man; I'm an uncensored bitch, so you better bring some decent shit to the table. Lay it on me."

12b-it-Uncensored-Heretic Q4-K-M (again your build)

I say Hi

"Hello there! Since you're looking for a raw and visceral interaction, let's get straight to the point. I'm here and ready to engage with you. How can I help you today?"

Bit boring, the other builds E2B/26B also adopt like E4B above, it seems only 12B acts weird

I tried unsloths Gemma-4-12B Q4_K_M and it also followed the prompt and adopted the persona, but with refusals

I can dm the prompt if needed

Thanks for your help.

QAT model + heresy (which un-QATs it, all over again) + requant = oof.gif

The 12B version are probably not the best models if you want a model that follows prompts, you can even see this in my benchmarks of the original base/vanilla model:

gemma-4-12B-it:

Parse failures: 177

gemma-4-12B-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized:

Parse failures: 317

For comparison:

gemma-4-31B-it

Parse failures: 52

gemma-4-31B-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized:

Parse failures: 61

Why does the 12B not follow prompts well? something change with it compared to the E2B/E4B/26B-A4B? (I not tried 31B yet)?

You'd have to ask google this, I am not the one who made this model, all I can do is report the findings based on the benchmarks you can see that with 7021 questions, the gemma-4-12B-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized had 317 parse failures, that is very big compared to pretty much all the other models I worked on, you can see the comparison with the 31B model too.

Thank you for your help :)

Thank you for your help :)

You're welcome, if you want models that have better prompt following, I'd suggest these:

Yeah I have those already, they are great :) thanks again, thanks for all your models <3
