Fine-tuned Gemma 4 12B for 2.7x Better Tool Calling on 16GB VRAM
TheOneWhoWil · reddit · 2026-08-23
Unable to fit larger models on 16GB VRAM, the author fine-tuned Gemma 4 12B specifically for tool calling and CLI usage.
Results:
- Achieved a 2.7x improvement in tool calling reliability.
- Increased the volume of attempted tool calls by 15.7%, helping the model stay active rather than getting lost in reasoning loops.
Assets: fp16 to Q4KM weights are available for use with llama.cpp or Ollama.
