Google released Gemma 4 this time (Part II)
If you only look at the leaderboard, 31B is definitely the most eye-catching.
But when you actually get the machine out, it’s still that un-upgraded RTX 3060 12GB, and your judgment will change immediately. How should I put it? For local deployment, in the end, it’s not about who looks the fanciest, but who seems like the one you can live with long-term. For me, what is truly worth running first this time isn’t 31B, but 26B A4B.
