Triangle104/Gemma-3-Starshine-12B-Alt-Q4_K_M-GGUF

This model was converted to GGUF format from ToastyPigeon/Gemma-3-Starshine-12B-Alt using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's GGUF-my-repo space. Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.

---

A creative writing model based on a merge of fine-tunes on Gemma 3 12B IT and Gemma 3 12B PT.

This is the RP Focused merge. This version better handles separate characters in turn-based chats with less impersonation.

Use with llama.cpp

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

brew install llama.cpp

Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:

llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Gemma-3-Starshine-12B-Alt-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file gemma-3-starshine-12b-alt-q4_k_m.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

Server:

llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Gemma-3-Starshine-12B-Alt-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file gemma-3-starshine-12b-alt-q4_k_m.gguf -c 2048

Note: 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: 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 through the main binary.

./llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Gemma-3-Starshine-12B-Alt-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file gemma-3-starshine-12b-alt-q4_k_m.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

or

./llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Gemma-3-Starshine-12B-Alt-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file gemma-3-starshine-12b-alt-q4_k_m.gguf -c 2048
