CatAreeya-4 12B IT (QAT) — GGUF

CatAreeya-12B-it in GGUF format, built on Google's Gemma 4 12B IT QAT (Quantization-Aware Trained) checkpoint. Because the base model was trained to tolerate 4-bit quantization, the Q4_0 weights are near-lossless compared to post-training quantization of a standard checkpoint.

The model is multimodal (text + vision) and ships with a Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafter for accelerated speculative decoding in llama.cpp.

Flag notes

  • --mmproj — loads the vision encoder; omit it for text-only use.
  • --model-draft + --spec-type draft-mtp — enables Gemma 4 Multi-Token Prediction speculative decoding for significantly faster generation.
  • -ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0 — quantizes the KV cache to Q8_0 to halve context memory.
  • -fa on — Flash Attention.
  • -cb — continuous batching.
  • -np 4 — 4 parallel inference slots.
