Mistral Nemo 12B

Mistral Nemo 12B was built jointly by Mistral AI and NVIDIA. It features a 128K context window and uses a Tekken tokenizer that's more efficient across languages than prior Mistral models. With 3.4M+ Ollama pulls, it's one of the most popular models at its size. At Q4 it fits on 12 GB GPUs comfortably, making it a strong contender alongside Gemma 3 12B. Excellent at function calling, multilingual tasks, and general instruction following.
