Run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF locally
yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF is a large code-focused language model with 11.91 billion parameters, built on the gemma4 architecture. It is released under the apache-2.0 license and has been downloaded 561,577 times.
To run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF locally at a 4,096-token context, its quantized versions need between 6.96 GB (Q2_K, lowest quality) and 14.26 GB (Q8_0, highest quality) of memory, weights plus KV cache and a system margin included.
For most users the best balance is Q2_K, needing about 6.96 GB. That means yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF fits entirely in the VRAM of an 8 GB GPU or larger, running fully on the GPU.

Frequently asked questions
How much VRAM do you need to run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF?
You need about 6.96 GB of VRAM to run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF entirely on the GPU using the Q2_K quantization (at a 4,096-token context). Smaller quantizations lower the requirement at the cost of quality.
Can I run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF on an 8 GB GPU?
Yes. With 8 GB of VRAM you can run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF fully on the GPU using Q2_K (about 6.96 GB).
Can I run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF on a 16 GB GPU?
Yes. With 16 GB of VRAM you can run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF fully on the GPU using Q8_0 (about 14.26 GB).
Can I run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF on a 24 GB GPU?
Yes. With 24 GB of VRAM you can run yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF fully on the GPU using Q8_0 (about 14.26 GB).
What is the best quantization for yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1-GGUF?
If memory allows, higher bits-per-weight means better quality. A common sweet spot is a Q4_K_M or Q5_K_M quantization, which keeps most of the quality while roughly halving the memory versus 8-bit. Pick the highest quantization that still fits in your VRAM.
