HauhauCS/Gemma4-12B-QAT-Uncensored-HauhauCS-Balanced
Summary
Release of an uncensored version of Gemma4-12B with quantization-aware training (QAT) and a multi-token-prediction head for ~60% faster generation via speculative decoding. The model removes refusals while maintaining quality, and is available on Hugging Face.

Gemma4-12B (QAT) uncensored by HauhauCS.0/465 Refusals*
https://huggingface.co/HauhauCS/Gemma4-12B-QAT-Uncensored-HauhauCS-Balanced#aboutAbout
No changes to datasets or capabilities — fully functional, 100% of what the original authors intended, just without the refusals. Built from the official QAT weights, so the 4-bit quant stays close to full-precision quality.

TheBalancedvariant (recommended — 99%+ of users will be happy here) uses optimized full uncensoring tuned especially for agentic coding, reasoning, creative writing and reliability-critical tasks. It reasons before answering and stays dependable and on-instruction. AnAggressivevariant, for cases where Balanced still deflects too much, after current testing is not required.
https://huggingface.co/HauhauCS/Gemma4-12B-QAT-Uncensored-HauhauCS-Balanced#60-faster-with-mtp~60% faster with MTP
Ships with an MTP (multi-token-prediction) draft head forspeculative decoding— roughly60% faster generation with identical output(the model verifies every drafted token, so quality is unchanged — pure speed). This release is tuned to pair well with the included MTP head.

Note:the MTP speedup was currently tested by me throughllama.cpp(llama\-server/llama\-cli).

**Why only Q4_K_M?**Gemma 4 is quantization-aware-trained for ~4-bit, so Q4_K_M is the sweet spot — higher-precision quants add size with no real quality gain. Carefully quantized for best quality at 4-bit.

These are dialed in specifically for this HauhauCS build — use them for the intended behaviour and quality:

This release is tuned end-to-end as its own thing; the settings above are part of that and aren’t the stock Gemma defaults.

- Works with llama.cpp, LM Studio, Jan, koboldcpp, and other GGUF runtimes.
- **Multi-GPU + LM Studio:**I’ve personally noticed Gemma 4 can crash under LM Studio’stensor-splitmode — use a single GPU (layer-split or priority order) for this model.

*Tested with both automated and manual refusal benchmarks — none have been found in standard use. A small number of edge-case prompts deflect on the first ask but comply on a re-ask or strategic framing. If you hit one that’s actually obstructive to your use case,join the Discordand flag it so I can work on it in a future revision.
