Gemma Coder (Fable Distilled): WHAT.. Fable LIKE OUTPUT from a 12B MODEL?

From the creator

In this video, I'll be telling you about Gemma 4 12B Agentic Fable 5 Compose, a new local model trending on Hugging Face that claims to be much better than the base Gemma model for coding, tool use, terminal workflows, and multi-step agentic tasks. -- Key Takeaways: 🚀 Gemma 4 12B Agentic Fable 5 Compose is a new local model trending on Hugging Face. 🧠 The model is fine-tuned for coding, reasoning, terminal work, tool use, and agentic workflows. 📊 It claims around a 3.5x improvement over the base Gemma 4 12B model on a local tau2-bench telecom test. 💻 You can run it locally using Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, and other GGUF-compatible tools. ⚙️ The recommended quantization for most users is Q4 K M, which balances quality, speed, and memory usage. 🔗 The model can also be connected to tools like Zed through Ollama or LM Studio’s local API server. ⚠️ While the model can be surprisingly capable, it is still buggy and not reliable enough for serious daily agentic coding yet. 👍 Overall, it is an interesting local coding model worth testing, but you should keep expectations realistic and double-check its work.
