🇹🇷 Turkish Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct (GGUF)

This repository contains the GGUF formatted version of the Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407 (12B parameters), which has been fine-tuned on a Turkish instruction dataset using Unsloth.

Equipped with the highly efficient Tekken tokenizer and a 128k context window, this model excels at processing Turkish text efficiently. It is optimized to act as a highly capable Turkish AI assistant running locally and 100% offline via llama.cpp, Ollama, and LM Studio.

💾 Available GGUF Files and System Requirements

Because this is a 12-Billion parameter model, it requires slightly more RAM/VRAM than standard 7B/8B models. The q4_k_m version is highly recommended for standard consumer hardware:

| File Name | Size | Recommended RAM | Description |

| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |

| *q4_k_m.gguf | ~7.1 GB | 12 GB | 🔥 The Golden Standard.** Offers the best balance between inference speed and model intelligence. |

| *q5_k_m.gguf** | ~8.5 GB | 16 GB | Higher quality with a slight trade-off in generation speed. |

| *q8_0.gguf** | ~12.8 GB | 20 GB | Near-lossless original quality. Requires high RAM/VRAM. |

📊 Model Performance Benchmarks (LLM-as-a-Judge)

This model has been tested under identical conditions alongside other popular Turkish GGUF models and evaluated via an LLM-as-a-Judge benchmark to measure Turkish language proficiency, instruction-following capabilities, and coding performance.

🏆 Comparison Table

| Model | Parameters | Geography (10) | Email Formatting (10) | Coding (10) | Total | Performance Summary |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Qwen-2.5-Instruct | 7B | 4.0 | 8.5 | 10.0 | 22.5 / 30 | Most Balanced: Flawless Python code, fluent Turkish, and high instruction adherence. Minor hallucination tendencies on local geographical data. |

| Llama-3.1-Instruct | 8B | 0.5 | 0.0 | 5.0 | 5.5 / 30 | Partial Success: Strong algorithmic background (generates working code), but suffers from severe token repetition and looping on text tasks. |

| Mistral-NeMo-Instruct | 12B | 2.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 5.0 / 30 | Weak Instruction Following: While grammar is readable, it lacks task orientation (generates a list instead of code, fails to formalize casual tone). |

| Gemma-2-IT | 9B | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 / 30 | Format Incompatibility: Due to special token structures and quantization sensitivity, it fails to produce meaningful output and enters a repetition loop. |

💬 Prompt Template (Mistral Instruct Format)

To get the best performance and prevent hallucinations, you must use the standard Mistral Instruct structure ([INST] and [/INST] tokens). System prompts can be prepended inside the initial instruction block:

<s>[INST] Sen yardımsever bir Türkçe asistansın.

[Write your prompt here] [/INST]

🚀 How to Run the Model

You can run this model locally with complete privacy and zero internet connection required.

Option 1: Using Python (llama-cpp-python)

1. Install the library via pip:

pip install llama-cpp-python

1. Download the model from Hugging Face:

wget -O Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf [https://huggingface.co/mehmettozlu/Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-GGUF/resolve/main/Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf](https://huggingface.co/mehmettozlu/Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-GGUF/resolve/main/Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf)

1. Create a Python script (run.py):

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="./Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf",
    n_ctx=4096,          # Context window size (can be increased up to 128k based on your RAM)
    n_gpu_layers=-1      # Offload all layers to GPU
)

response = llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "Sen yardımsever bir Türkçe asistansın."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Yapay zeka modellerinin nasıl eğitildiğini kısaca açıklar mısın?"}
    ]
)

print(response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])

Option 2: Using LM Studio (Easiest - GUI)

• Download and install LM Studio.
• In the search bar, type mehmettozlu/Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-GGUF.
• Download the q4_k_m.gguf file.
• Navigate to the "Chat" tab, ensure the prompt format is set to "Mistral Instruct", and start chatting in Turkish.

Option 3: Using Ollama (For Developers)

• Create a text file named Modelfile (no extension) and paste the following content:

FROM hf.co/mehmettozlu/Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-GGUF/Turkish-Mistral-NeMo-12B-Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf

TEMPLATE """{{ if .System }}<s>[INST] {{ .System }}

{{ end }}{{ .Prompt }} [/INST]"""
SYSTEM """Sen yardımsever bir Türkçe asistansın."""
PARAMETER stop "</s>"
PARAMETER stop "[INST]"
PARAMETER stop "[/INST]"

• Build and run the model:

ollama create turkish-nemo-12b -f Modelfile
ollama run turkish-nemo-12b
