Ran gemma 4 12b on my 3090 yesterday and I think the local model game just changed

Got the gguf quantized version running about two hours after release and I genuinely wasn't expecting this from a 12b model. The multimodal stuff actually works, fed it screenshots of my codebase and it parsed the architecture better than most 70b models I've tested. The 256k context window is real and it doesn't fall apart at the edges like llama models do past 32k. Loaded a full repo into context, it tracked references across the whole thing. Single 3090 with q4 quantization runs at about 15 tokens per second which is totally usable for de work. What gets me is the size range.
