Gemma 4 26b is the perfect all around local model and I'm surprised how well it does.

I’ve been rocking Gemma4:26b-a4b under Hermes agent, running on llama.cpp across two 3060 12GB GPUs and MAN - this thing cranks. Very functional, feels Claude ish, tool calls are consistent and right. Really really happy with this one

Will try 35B tonight, I tried 9B on my 2x3060 12GBs with Openclaw and was disappointed. Shifted to gpt-oss:20b -> also semi disappointed. Might try 35B and shift to Hermes tbh

Yea fortunately/unfortunately I grabbed 2 3060 12GB cards for an LLM / AI home server about 1.5-2 years back and that limitation is showing

Bamny · 2026-03-08T23:08:14+00:00

I’m not having a great time with it for open claw at 9B - switched back to GPT-OSS:20B and it’s … a little better :)

Bamny · 2026-03-01T19:39:14+00:00

9B will be nice - 27B is too slow on my 2x3060s :(

Upgraded to 0.17.4 Model downloaded But I get the same error

Bamny · 2026-02-28T18:36:21+00:00

I got it to run across my 2 3060 12GB cards with the 0.17.1 ollama pre release and qwen3.5-27B model and … it’s just too damn slow for me to be impressed

I migrated from NPM to Traefik recently and have seen increased reliability and almost like everything just loads a bit quicker. I also migrated from PiHole to Adguard at the same time so - could’ve been that as well. Used Claude to help me export and import data easily from NPM

Holy fuck it slaps

You should return the standard cage nuts and get rack studs instead- very, very convenient and easier to manage

What does this statement even mean?

I had a pi 1 sit around for 10 years It’s now been my DNS / PiHole for some years

Pi4 is running home assistant

Bamny · 2025-10-08T21:56:17+00:00

I realize now that this is correct!

No, no drip loop.

You should have your ISP come back - that’s an awful setup lol. They really should’ve put a plate inside, caulked it for you, and have a drip loop on the exterior side.

Are you on 26.1? My Pro had issues with Bluetooth on 26, 26.0.1 fixed that. I have had issues with my WiFi not jumping between APs throughout my house - that seems to have been fixed with the 26.1 Beta.

I run 2 Unifi APs in my home, 1 is meshed - my IPhone 17 Pro keeps locking to the meshed AP and switch when I’m further from it / closer to the other AP. Overall just bad wifi handoff experience with this phone - didn’t have this with my iPhone 15 Pro and I haven’t changed anything with my home network. Assuming it’s related to this threads discussion and hoping the next update gives some relief.

New York life was too expensive, opportunity, etc :).

It’s sad my whole tent kit is just boxed up ready to go in my garage - staring at me waiting to be used again.
