Libraries

How to use OnlyTextLLMs/gemma-4-12B-it-OnlyText with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="OnlyTextLLMs/gemma-4-12B-it-OnlyText")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("OnlyTextLLMs/gemma-4-12B-it-OnlyText")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("OnlyTextLLMs/gemma-4-12B-it-OnlyText", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

# gemma-4-12B-it-OnlyText

Text-only causal language model derived from [google/gemma-4-12B-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-12B-it)
by removing the vision and audio stacks (their towers/embedders and projector weights)
and the multimodal special tokens. The text backbone and LM head are preserved.

## Details

- Base model: [google/gemma-4-12B-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-12B-it)
- Architecture: `Gemma4UnifiedForCausalLM`
- Parameters: 11.91B
- Layers: 48 · Hidden size: 3840
- MTP head: not present
- Weights: `bfloat16`

## Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("OnlyTextLLMs/gemma-4-12B-it-OnlyText")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("OnlyTextLLMs/gemma-4-12B-it-OnlyText")
