https://huggingface.co/bartowski/google_gemma-3-12b-it-GGUF/resolve/main/mmproj-google_gemma-3-12b-it-f16.gguf?download=true

I loaded both the gguf and the mmproj into Kobold but when I upload an image using Add img and then paste from clipboard or Upload from file

and then i enter a prompt analyse the image

I get a response

I understand you want me to analyze an image. However, I need you to provide me with the image first! I don't have access to previous conversations or external files unless you give them to me.

Please either:

  Paste a link to the image.
  Upload the image directly (if the platform allows it).

Once you do that, I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Ok I did some more tests. And vision seems to be working on localhost but not from another pc on the same LAN. Looks like the image data is not being sent, when connecting to kobold over LAN.
But on localhost I can see the base64 encoded data being printed on the console.

Ok It seems it's started working, I just did F12 to check the network traffic between the browser and Kobold and the request showed the image data.
I'm not sure why it didnt' work the first couple of times.
will do some more tests...

Probably cached HTML UI?

Make sure:

• BOTH mmproj and the model must be loaded.
• your image is actually being sent (click on it and see that it's enabled for Multimodal)

Make sure:

* BOTH mmproj and the model must be loaded.

* your image is actually being sent (click on it and see that it's enabled for Multimodal)

it's working reliably now but when I tried first 2-3 times i couldn't see the image data (base64 encoded) in the console, I could only see my question regarding the image being sent.
I loaded both files gguf + mmproj.

When i click on the image it says Multimodel (KCPP mmproj)

Possibly, but unable to verify.
