Testing Gemma 4 12B MTP with llama.cpp for coding, OCR, and visual RAG

Original Description

Gemma 4 12B is the latest open model by Google DeepMind that aims to bring performance similar to the 26B model requiring ~16GB VRAM. We'll test the MTP setup and look into how much faster inference can we get. Is this truly a competitor to the 26B MoE model and Qwen3.6?
