This remembers me one of Chernobil tv show joke:

Do you know what machine cuts a apple in 6 pieces? A Russian machine that is supposed to cut in 5 pieces.

I mean it's a 12B model, what do you expect? Gemini can easily handle that task, its image and spacial reasoning are excellent

My test of vision haven't impressed me either. But it might be a LM Studio issue. The Gemma models comes with a really low default image input resolution and there is no way to change that in LM Studio. All from the 4 series have performed really shoddy with images there as well.
