i just ran Google's brand new Unsloth Gemma4 12B dense GGUF on my RTX 4060 using llama.cpp + CUDA 13.2 21 tokens per second. on a budget consumer GPU. locally. no API. no cloud. no subscription. and the benchmarks are absolutely cooked # first let's talk architecture because this is genuinely different every multimodal model you've used has a frozen vision encoder + frozen audio encoder + LLM backbone glued together Gemma 4 12B is different it's a single decoder only transformer. that's it. vision? raw 48×48 pixel patches → one matmul → projected directly into the LLM audio? raw 16kHz signal sliced into 40ms frames → linear projection → same LLM input space no encoder tax. no latency penalty. no fragmented memory to put the encoder savings in perspective: old Gemma 4 26B approach: - 550M param vision encoder (frozen) - 300M param audio encoder (frozen) - LLM backbone Gemma 4 12B: - 35M param vision embedder (a single matmul) - no audio encoder at all - LLM backbone handles EVERYTHING 550M → 35M for vision alone. that's a 15x reduction this is why the gemma-4-12b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf is just 6.6 GBs!!! and it has 256K native context context # Benchmarks: AIME 2026 (math olympiad): 77.5% GPQA Diamond (expert science): 78.8% LiveCodeBench v6 (real code): 72% Codeforces ELO: 1659 MMLU Pro: 77.2% MATH-Vision: 79.7% BigBench Extra Hard: 53% inference → llama.cpp, LM Studio, vLLM, SGLang llamacpp flags: -m "gemma-4-12b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf" -ngl 99 -c 8000 -v --port 8080 Available on huggingface now!

Run Gemma 4 26b MTP on 8 GB VRAM GPUs at 25+ tokens/second. Flags included! local llm space is moving at terminal velocity. only 3 days ago google released gemma 4 26b a4b qat quants. more efficient than before, ran on 8gb vram at 20 tok/sec. and now just a few hours ago, mainline llama.cpp merged a massive update and we just shattered our own record. decode throughput went 25-40% up on the same 8 GB VRAM setup! Before MTP: 20 tps -> After MTP: 28 tps! llama.cpp just officially merged PR #23398 ("add Gemma4 MTP"), bringing native Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) support to Gemma 4 models. By running speculative drafting on the same 8GB VRAM RTX 4060 setup, my decode throughput on a 64k context instantly leaped to a blistering 25–27 tokens/sec thats 25-30% increase with the same hardware. Here is the architectural catch you need to know: Unlike the Qwen 3.5 and 3.6 series, which bake the MTP heads directly into the base GGUF, the Gemma 4 MTP head is not built in. You must download a separate, specialized MTP drafter GGUF (the assistant model) to act as the speculator. (I've dropped the download link in the replies). copy and try the exact flags: -m gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf --spec-type draft-mtp --spec-draft-n-max 6 --spec-draft-p-min 0.7 --spec-draft-model gemma-4-26b-A4B-it-assistant-Q4_0.gguf -c 64000 -v n-max 4 and p-min 0.7 is also worth checking out. benchmark on your setup and workflow. if you have a single 8 gb vram nvidia rtx 4060, 3060, 3070, 2080, 2070, grab the MTP drafter GGUF link in the comments and try it yourself. Check it out even if you have asmaller or a larger gpu, such as a single rtx 3090, 4090, 3060, 2060. MTP works for all gemma 4 sizes such as gemma 4 12b, gemma 4 31b etc. but remember to grab the correct mtp draft assistant models respectively. what are you benchmarking today

Open source AI is actually moving at an unhinged pace right now. I literally hadn't even finished typing up my last Gemma 4 12b benchmark notes before Google went ahead and dropped the official Quantization Aware Training (QAT) checkpoints on Hugging Face. If you missed the news, QAT basically bakes the compression directly into the training process. Instead of standard post training quantization degrading the model's reasoning capabilities, QAT trains the model with compression in mind. Unsloth is reporting near original performance at 4-bit with ~72% lower memory footprint. Details in the comments. Naturally, had to instantly pull the new GGUFs to see what a single RTX 4090 card (24 GB VRAM, Cuda 12.8, ubuntu 22) could do. i fired up llama.cpp engine again Look at these numbers: 1. Unsloth Gemma 4 26B-A4B IT (QAT Q4_K_XL) flags: ./build/bin/llama-cli -m gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -cnv -ngl 99 -c 250000 -fa on -v VRAM Used: 19.5 GB context: 250,000 tokens decode throughput: 193 tps 2. Unsloth Gemma 4 31B IT (QAT Q4_K_XL) flags: Command: ./build/bin/llama-cli -m gemma-4-31B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -cnv -ngl 99 -c 60000 -fa on -v - VRAM Used: 23 GB (Tight, but zero system RAM spillover) - context: 60,000 tokens - decode throughput: 47 tps We are essentially watching hardware bottlenecks evaporate in real time. An update literally drops before you can finish benchmarking the previous one. What a time to be running local hardware. If you have a single rtx 3090, rtx 4090, these are the latest gemma models to try this week.

Testing the new Gemma 4 12B (QAT) vision and OCR capabilities locally with LM Studio. # The setup: - GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 (8GB VRAM) - CPU: Intel i7 - Runner: LM Studio - Config: 32k context, 38 layers offloaded, Flash Attention enabled - Speed: ~14 tokens/sec decode throughput # The test: I gave it a screenshot of Google AI Studio. Prompt: "clone this. give me a single html file" # The result: A solid one shot replication. It successfully mapped out the layout, recognized the UI text, and structured the divs correctly, with only minor differences from the original. Results available at the end of the video. Quite capable for a 12B model running on budget consumer hardware. A gpu that costs only $300. # Why the architecture under the hood is notable: Unlike traditional models that rely on heavy, separate vision and audio encoders, Gemma 4 12B uses a unified, encoder free architecture. It bypasses separate multi stage encoders. Uses a 35M parameter vision embedder to project raw 48x48 pixel patches directly to the LLM hidden dimension. Local multimodal development is becoming highly accessible on standard hardware. If you've spun up Gemma 4 12B locally, what setup are you using and what kind of throughput are you seeing?

my 8 GB VRAM gaming laptop is absolutely going to hate me for this. but I still did it. ran a 31b dense model (Gemma 4 31b Q4) with only 8 GB VRAM last week I ran Gemma 4 26B A4B a mixture of experts model on my RTX 4060 and hit 25–28 tokens/sec using llama.cpp's new MTP support. smooth. snappy. but MoE has a secret: it only activates 4B parameters per token despite having 26B total. that's why it flies. so the real question started haunting me. what if I throw a full, no tricks, every parameter fires on every token, 31B DENSE model at the same machine? # Hardware: GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060, 8 GB VRAM RAM: 16 GB CPU: Intel Core i7 H Laptop. Gaming. Modest. The model: gemma-4-31B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf (model's unsloth huggingface link in the comments) This is Google DeepMind's flagship dense model in the Gemma 4 family that can run on single consumer GPU. It packs a hybrid attention architecture, supports up to 256K context natively, and is QAT (Quantization Aware Training) optimized, meaning it retains far more quality than standard post training quants at the same bit depth. This is NOT the MoE. This is 31 BILLION dense parameters, every single one of them loaded. # the flags I used: -m gemma-4-31B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -cnv --spec-type draft-mtp --spec-draft-model mtp-gemma-4-31B-it.gguf --spec-draft-n-max 8 --spec-draft-p-min 0.6 -c 6000 -v Multi Token Prediction (MTP) is still active here. Separate draft GGUF required, same as the 26B setup. # Results: → Decode: ~3 tokens/sec → Prefill: ~2 tokens/sec → Context: 6000 tokens → Hardware crying quietly in the corner: yes so is 3 tps actually usable? For real time back and forth chat? Not ideal. You're not having a fluid conversation at 3 tps. but slow ≠ useless. And this is where it gets genuinely interesting. think about how senior devs actually work in a real team. But when something is architectural, deeply complex, or needs serious reasoning? they walk down the hall and escalate to the senior. That's exactly the local AI agent architecture this unlocks: → Fast orchestrator model (Gemma 4 26B MoE at 25+ tps) handles routing, simple queries, tool calls, memory. The junior dev. → Gemma 4 31B dense is the senior, called only when the fast model genuinely hits a wall. Hard multi step reasoning. Complex code generation. Deep architectural decisions. The agentic loop stays fast. Only the hard hops touch the 31B. That's a legitimate production grade local AI architecture on a budget hardware. (requires 2 8gb gpus) other workflows where 3 tps is completely fine: - overnight batch jobs. summarize documents, extract structured data, review code. Fire it off. Sleep. wake up to results. - One shot deep reasoning - Silent code audit loops, you write and test, the 31B reviews diffs and flags issues in the background between your sprints - Any workflow where output quality > output speed A few weeks ago, nobody was running a 30B+ dense model on a single consumer GPU with 8 GB VRAM. At all. Now we're doing it on an Intel i7-H gaming laptop with a NVIDIA RTX 4060, thanks to llama.cpp + QAT quants + MTP speculative drafting. Google DeepMind said the Gemma 4 31B targets "consumer GPUs and workstations." They were not exaggerating. The hardware bar to run serious frontier class models locally keeps dropping. the tools are here. the models are here. you just have to be willing to abuse your laptop a little. what workflows would you actually run on a local 3 tps 31B dense model? genuinely curious. drop it below.

The hardware bar to run serious frontier class models locally keeps dropping. the tools are here. the models are here. you just have to be willing to abuse your laptop a little. what workflows would you actually run on a local 3 tps 31B dense model? genuinely curious. drop it below.

Gemma 4 sees a kid and three dogs. Decides what matters. Calls SAM 3.1 Mask and bounding box. Spotlight on subjects. Background blur. Background pixelation. Four effects. Fully agentic. Two models talking to each other on a MacBook. No App. No cloud. What would you edit?

If you thought the Gemma 4 31B (dense) model was fast, sit down. I just benched the updated Gemma 4 26B A4B MoE on a single RTX 4090 (24 GB VRAM) 9,200 t/s prefill. 160 t/s decode. 250,000 context window. All on a single consumer RTX 4090. The numbers are completely unhinged. The 31B is a dense behemoth. But the 26B is a Mixture of Experts (MoE), specifically an Active 4 Billion (A4B). It holds 26B parameters of knowledge but only activates 4B per token. Because its inference memory footprint is so light, I didn’t even need KV cache quantization to hit a quarter million context. Compiled the latest llama.cpp from source on Ubuntu 22 (CUDA 13). Fed it a 28k token prompt, and manually cranked the batch sizes (-b 2048 -ub 2048) to absolutely redline the Tensor Cores. Here is the benchmarking breakdown: # 1. The Baseline (No MTP) Even without speculative decoding, the A4B architecture flies. llama.cpp flags: ./build/bin/llama-server -m gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -c 250000 -ngl 99 -fa on -b 2048 -ub 2048 --port 8080 -v Context Ceiling: 250,000 tokens (21.5 GB VRAM) Prefill: 9,200 t/s (Absurd) Decode: 124 t/s # 2. The MTP Overdrive Injected the new MTP draft model to enable Speculative Decoding. llama.cpp flags: ./build/bin/llama-server -m gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf --spec-type draft-mtp --spec-draft-model mtp-gemma-4-26B-A4B-it.gguf --spec-draft-n-max 4 --spec-draft-p-min 0.7 -c 250000 -ngl 99 -fa on -b 2048 -ub 2048 --port 8080 -v Context Ceiling: 250,000 tokens (22.96 GB VRAM) Prefill: 7,054 t/s (MTP draft overhead slightly caps prefill) Decode: 156 t/s # The Agentic Architecture Insight Why does this matter? Because you can now build a killer local agentic loop on a consumer desktop. Use the 31B dense model (from the previous post) as your heavy, deliberate Orchestrator / Verifier / Planner. Pass the actual execution tasks to this 26B MoE. At 160 t/s, this MoE can chew through code generation, tool calling, and massive RAG document retrieval over a 250k context window almost instantly, drastically speeding up your agentic loop. If you own a single RTX 3090 or 4090 and haven't tried this specific stack yet, you need to pull these latest updates and run it. Local inference just leveled up. Hugging Face links to the Unsloth 26B QAT quants and MTP drafters are in the replies. performance graphs also available in the replies.
