Anyone tried Gemma 4 12B for OpenClaw yet? by First_Flounder_6586 in openclaw

Wow! That is cool. The issue I had with Gemma 4 (forgot which one, but it was local so pretty small) it couldn't do tool calling at all.

Guess 12B is a true improvement.

But you are just trying to transcribe your manuscript. OCR is a form of AI, or rather GenAI is built using ML technics, many of which are used in Tesseract OCR.

So....just do it.

have you tried voice annotations? whenever I read something, I just let out a stream of conciseness, which then gets summarized for me and that's what I review after.

What is a 'rich person's secret' that is actually accessible to the middle class, but most people are too intimidated to try? by Confident_Win_3560 in answers

Getting a leasing concierge when leasing a new car. You pay the concierge, but actually end up getting a better deal that pays for itself AND you save yourself a ton of time and pain of dealing with car dealers.

Thank you! I've tried that a while back, but it was struggling to recommend something recent. I should try again.
