🚀 NikolayKozloff/gemma-3-12b-it-Q8_0-GGUF

This project provides a GGUF - formatted conversion of the google/gemma-3-12b-it model, enabling seamless integration with llama.cpp.

🚀 Quick Start

This model was converted to GGUF format from google/gemma-3-12b-it using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's GGUF-my-repo space. Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.

📦 Installation

Install llama.cpp

Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

brew install llama.cpp

💻 Usage Examples

Use with llama.cpp

Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI

llama-cli --hf-repo NikolayKozloff/gemma-3-12b-it-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file gemma-3-12b-it-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

Server

llama-server --hf-repo NikolayKozloff/gemma-3-12b-it-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file gemma-3-12b-it-q8_0.gguf -c 2048

Alternative Usage Steps

You can also use this checkpoint directly through the usage steps listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

Step 2: Build llama.cpp

Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with LLAMA_CURL = 1 flag along with other hardware - specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA = 1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).

cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make

Step 3: Run inference

./llama-cli --hf-repo NikolayKozloff/gemma-3-12b-it-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file gemma-3-12b-it-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

./llama-server --hf-repo NikolayKozloff/gemma-3-12b-it-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file gemma-3-12b-it-q8_0.gguf -c 2048
