Gemma 4-12B generates functional, albeit flawed, WebGL bowling simulator

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user tested Google's Gemma 4-12B model by asking it to generate a single-file 3D bowling simulator in WebGL. While the resulting code was described as "terrible," the user found it surprisingly functional, exceeding their initial expectations for a 12-billion parameter model. The model made a few tool call errors but self-corrected, demonstrating a degree of capability in code generation despite not being primarily recommended for such tasks. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates the evolving capabilities of smaller language models in code generation, even for complex tasks like 3D graphics.
