Google's Gemma 4 12B model shows promise for local AI setups, but users report that default configurations in tools like LM Studio can hinder its reasoning capabilities. Specific adjustments to Jinja templates and sampling parameters, such as increasing temperature and disabling token mismatch, are necessary to unlock its full potential. While Gemma 4 12B has demonstrated an ability to correctly rewrite code and replace inefficient loops, its performance is limited by its size, with larger models like Qwen 35B finding more bugs in benchmarks.
