Omlx feedback indicates a missing chat template.jinja file, which prevents dialogue.
After I manually downloaded the chat template.jinja file from "https://huggingface.co/yuxinlu1/gemma-4-12B-coder-fable5-composer2.5-v1/tree/main", omlx could use the model normally.
But there will be problems with tool calls.
If the file is lost, it will affect the 8bit, 4bit, and f16 versions.

Oh I see, let me take a look on this. I might have overlooked on the jinja file. Thanks for pointing it out.

I just downloaded the model today and was getting the same error, I'm glad this community exists.

How did you point your model to the chat template file?
edit: figured it out: just curl it into the model's dir in .omlx

am I doing something wrong by using it with hermes? I'm not even telling it to use those skills.
