Gemma 4 12B Instruct (Unsloth, Q6_K_XL)
A Q6_K_XL GGUF distribution of Gemma 4 12B Instruct for local deployment: 12 billion dense parameters, encoder-free unified multimodal architecture with text, image, audio, and video input. Apache 2.0 license, 256,000 token context, more compact than Q4 variants at moderate additional memory. Audio and video support depend locally on a compatible multimodal projector.

Sovereign Risk: LOW The base weights are from Google DeepMind and released under Apache 2.0. This card describes a local Unsloth GGUF distribution; inference runs without a cloud connection and without external data transfer. The CLOUD Act risk primarily concerns cloud/API usage, not purely local operation.[web:790][web:792][web:796]

Key metrics – legend
Score
- Total Score
- Overall score derived from Routine and Reasoning scores. Basis for the fleet rank and tier assignment (Gold / Silver / Bronze).
- Routine
- Score for standard tasks: code generation, text transformation, structured outputs. Weighted by task complexity.
- Reasoning
- Score for analytical and logical tasks: multi-step problem solving, mathematical reasoning, structured argumentation.
- Rank
- Position in the fleet comparison, sorted by Total Score. Refers to the snapshot at the time of testing.
LLM Judge
- LLM Judge Ø
- Average quality rating by an independent judge model on a scale of 1–5.
- Coverage
- Share of tasks for which a judge rating is available. 100% means all responses were evaluated.
Latency & speed
- Avg. Task Duration
- Average time per task from the first to the last token of the response, measured across all benchmark tasks.
- Token Rate
- Output speed in tokens per second. Relevant for interactive applications and real-time streaming.
- P95 Latency
- 95th percentile of response times — shows outliers. Lower values mean fewer long wait times in edge cases.
Cost
- Cost per 1K
- API price per 1,000 output tokens in US dollars. Basis for cost calculation in production use.
- Benchmark Cost
- Total cost for the complete benchmark run of this model.
