The case for Gemma 4 12B's dense, multimodal design
A user calls Gemma 4 12B underappreciated, praising its fully linear, standardized multimodal embeddings and arguing that its size makes a dense design less questionable than at 30B.
TLDR
A post praises Gemma 4 12B's multimodal embeddings and reasonably deep design. Its author argues that the model is small enough for a dense architecture to make sense, unlike the doubts they raise about dense models at 30B, and calls Google's pretrains “elite.”
