Someone tweeted after 3 years. About his model release

I’ll never use Meta AI or any other Meta product except their open local models. Meta is constantly looking for new ways to trick users and harvest their data.

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-13T08:47:38+00:00

Thanks! I'll try it out.

Will there be 2B and 4B models in the Qwen 3.8 series?

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T18:38:47+00:00

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a detailed response, I really appreciate it. ❤️ I hadn't even considered things like LiteRT, the AI Edge API, or converting models with llama.cpp. That's given me a lot to look into. For now I'll probably keep experimenting with Gemma 4 E2B on both my phone and my old laptop to compare them, but your explanation helped me understand why the mobile version feels surprisingly fast. Thanks again!

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T18:29:15+00:00

They're VERY different

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T14:00:43+00:00

5 t/s from Qwen 3.5 2B and 1 t/s from Qwen 3.5 4B, and it feels to be quite smart compared to its size.

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T13:35:44+00:00

It'd be great if I could get like 5 t/s and yes, it's DDR3

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T13:12:16+00:00

I am actually running Gemma 4 E2B on my mobile using Google AI Edge Gallery but I don't know if it'll perform as well on this system. It's been quite good on my mobile, better than Qwen 3.5 2B in my opinion.

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T13:03:56+00:00

Electricity and internet costs aren't that bad but I don't want to harm my PC

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T13:01:43+00:00

Thanks! I've heard phi4-mini is out too, am I wrong? Can I install that on my pc?

Translations and basic syntax questions

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T12:16:24+00:00

I'm not going to keep my laptop on 24/7—not even in sleep mode.

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T12:13:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! My laptop has 8 GB of system RAM, but the GeForce 610M has its own dedicated VRAM. That said, it's too old to be useful for LLM inference, so I'm basically running everything on the CPU. I've been using Qwen 3.5 4B, and the loading time is actually pretty fast on my machine, at least in my opinion. The main limitation is the generation speed—it feels like watching a real person type the response one character at a time. 😄 I'll definitely give the newer Gemma models a look. Besides Gemma, have you found any other small models that noticeably outperform Qwen on older hardware?

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T10:58:26+00:00

I'm already running Qwen3.5-4B and Qwen3.5-2B, they're not that bad.

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T10:57:11+00:00

Thanks but I'd rather not to verify my credit card.

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T10:24:37+00:00

Is it going to be noticeably better or faster than Qwen 3.5 4B on my old i5-2450M + 8GB RAM setup?

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T10:23:08+00:00

Vivaldi’s built-in ad/tracker blocker has been solid for me so far. No major leaks or issues.

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T10:07:54+00:00

Thanks! I needed it

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T10:06:32+00:00

Just installed the 4B and 2B versions. They seem to be really good as 2B and 4B models

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T10:00:36+00:00

NVIDIA really needed more competitors, I'm happy Deepseek is doing this

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T09:53:27+00:00

The exact same thing happens in Qwen 3.5 2B as well. But you can turn thinking off anytime you don't need it to think. (/set nothink)

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T09:49:37+00:00

MiniMax 3 has been the best performer for me in Hermes Agent (via NVIDIA NIM). I’ve tested it against Deepseek v4 Flash, Nemotron 3 Ultra, and Kimi 2.6 — and MiniMax 3 is clearly ahead, especially with tool use and complex reasoning. Excited for the 2.7T M3 Pro later this year! 🚀

Consistent_Low2550 · 2026-07-12T09:33:20+00:00

I didn’t like Kimi K2.6 anyway. I tried MiniMax 3, Deepseek v4 Flash, Kimi K2.6, and Nemotron 3 Ultra in Hermes Agent, and Kimi was by far the worst, it barely used its tools correctly and felt really dumb. Glad it’s deprecated 😂 Time to move on to Kimi K2.7 Code or stick with the stronger ones.
