What I built with Gemma-4 12B Coder
Every model on Goldie Bench gets the same fixed prompt set — one shot, single HTML file out — and I score the result 0–10 inside the Agent Operating System. Here's what Gemma-4 12B Coder shipped on the bench: 42 one-shot demos across 256,000 tokens of context. Of those, 6 are scored against the field with my honest 0–10 from the source guides at agentos.guide.
Strengths
- Runs 100% free + offline on a consumer Mac (Q4_K_M, 7.4GB) — no API, no rate limits, nothing leaves the machine
- Test-verified training (Composer 2.5 + Fable 5) — shipped a clean SaaS landing page and a working particle galaxy one-shot
- Fast on Apple Silicon — 2.4s cold start, ~35 tokens/sec on an M4 Max
Trade-offs
- Half its one-shots shipped broken on the bench — a missing canvas append, a missing render loop, and an uncompiled WebGL shader
- Far below frontier models on complex 3D / WebGL / games — strongest on pages and simple canvas work, not simulations
Best for
- Free, private, offline coding where nothing can leave your machine
- Landing pages, simple canvas builds, and code you'll review before shipping
- Anyone who wants a $0 local coder wired into their Agent OS
