Google Releases Gemma 4 12B for 16GB Laptop AI

Google released Gemma 4 12B, a 12-billion-parameter AI model that runs on laptops with 16GB of RAM. It matches the performance of larger Gemma 4 models in multistep reasoning and agentic workflows. The model uses Multi-Token Prediction drafters for efficiency, enabling faster inference without sacrificing capability. It occupies half the memory of the 26B MoE model and is available under Apache 2.0 license.
