Google released Gemma 4 12B June 3 under clean Apache 2.0, native multimodality, up to 256K context on larger variants, with the 31B reportedly at 85.2% MMLU Pro. Two days later came QAT versions optimized for mobile and laptop hardware. The 12B size targets the single-GPU sweet spot, and QAT preserves accuracy at lower bit-widths, which makes local agentic workloads actually practical instead of aspirational.
