TheDrummer: Rocinante 12B

Rocinante 12B is a text-in, text-out model from thedrummer with a 32,768-token context window and a matching 32,768-token completion ceiling. It supports tool use, which makes it compatible with agentic workflows, but it does not support native reasoning and has no confirmed structured output capability. Input is text only; no image or audio modalities are available. At $0.17 per million input tokens and $0.43 per million output tokens, the pricing sits in the budget-to-mid range, making it worth considering for cost-sensitive projects that need tool-calling support. The practical caveat is significant: there is no independent benchmark coverage at this time, so quality relative to competitors is unverified. Buyers comfortable evaluating a model through their own testing, rather than leaning on published scores, are the right audience for Rocinante 12B.
