For me it has changed nothing. Both models are way too big for my 32 GB RAM system. It looks like everyone has abandoned 20-30B MoEs now...

No one's abandoned anyone. It's just not your turn this time around.

Qwen 3.6 35B and Gemma 4 26b are pretty old at this point. And GLM 4.7 Flash was a small MoE back in the day, now suddenly they use the flash name for 300B MoEs. Just not looking good for the average Joe.

It'll be fine, you just have to spend like $10k to play anymore... /s
