    Gemma4 31B with MTP enabled is faster and I feel a bit stronger at coding. Either one can run in 32GB VRAM or unified RAM with some tuning (3 bit weights, 8 bit kv cache)

    It's not at all like e-mail spam. Vast majority of contributors made a change useful for themselves that they wish to share with others. It's better to think of this as an influx o…

    Models consume a lot of memory and power to slowly generate autocompletions of existing content one token at a time. Letting this text control important things in real world is a h…

    There are amputees that do snowboarding with specially designed prosthesis and boards, so there is certainly a way to take load off weak knees with appropriate gear. OP is just, qu…

    Just don't blame me if your coding agent curses CEO and bypasses presubmits with dirty hacks a year later, I never volunteered to be a role model.
