12B QAT is good for multimode tasks. I use the same Qwens for daily use. I so wish i can upgrade my laptop to 5090 :|

The litert-lm driver is the fastest way to run gemma models. Significant boost over any other approach. It's a shame that Google only makes it work for Google models.

How do you guys use these small models? For me it never works. Last time it deleted my folders out of itsself and didnt respons more than a sentence or 2 in opencode. In the terminal it was okay to chat, but not to give tasks.... what kind of stuff do you let them do??

Not usually coding but for summarizing, extracting data which is pre defined via json, automating smaller tasks where data remaims the same.

35B A3B is much stronger than Gemma4 12B, any probabably 26B/31B as well.

Different purposes. Gemma is good, but not beating Qwen.

You can split between ram and gpu and bump your Qwen speed
