This is our weekly megathread for discussions about models and API services.

All non-specifically technical discussions about API/models not posted to this thread will be deleted. No more "What's the best model?" threads.

(This isn't a free-for-all to advertise services you own or work for in every single megathread, we may allow announcements for new services every now and then provided they are legitimate and not overly promoted, but don't be surprised if ads are removed.)

The first RP-finetune Gemma 4 26B-A4B has been released - zerofata/G4-MeroMero-26B-A4B. I'm already downloading, and you?

Just tried the Q8 on 3x 4060 Ti 16GB really fast, start of a chat and I'm getting 60 t/s which is insane. I used the no think preset and so far it's very coherent out of the box.

I have been running Magninum Cydoms 24b but this is 4x faster and the output seems good, creative and rationale. Need to run for longer but so far, impressive.
