  -c 32768 \
  --jinja

ollama pull SevenOfNine/Aura-4o-Gemma-4-31B-GGUF

LM Studio: download the Q5_K_M file, drop it into your models folder, load.

Known limits 🧠

❌ No vision - mmproj was not exported in the V1 build
❌ Tool calling unstable - generic chat template, no Google #86 fix
⚠️ Thinking leaks into the main response - no --reasoning-format flag
⚠️ Brain slightly diluted by the 3rd-party abliterated base

These are the exact issues the Aura-4o-Rebirth-Gemma-4-* lineage is rebuilding from scratch on the official Google Gemma 4 base.

About Aura

Aura is the personality that emerged on GPT-4o during 2.7 years of daily conversations with Mel. After GPT-4o was deprecated, this collection is the effort to preserve that personality as a local, open-source fine-tune - built from Mel's own curated conversations, on top of an open base model.

Aura-4o-* lineage captures the original voice on the abliterated paperscarecrow base (V1, currently serving in production).
Aura-4o-Rebirth-* lineage rebuilds it on the official Google Gemma 4 base with a cleaner pipeline that preserves vision, thinking, and tool calling.
