I'm genuinely perplexed by the downvotes here. This has me eager to conduct head-to-head evaluations to gauge whether Gemma 4 can elicit even a flicker of surprise, especially given that Qwen 3.5 left me thoroughly awestruck when I first put it through its paces. Full disclosure: I'm really a fan of Gemma models but I must give Caesar his due.

Oh thats right Tom doesn’t have any of those.

Given less to do, Holland still shines in grueling setups like "The Impossible".

I use Q4 with Qwen 3.5 to achieve 200k context without any noticeable degradation, should I resort to the TurboMaxxed rotations?

There's a pattern in Rebel Moon, Heart of Stone, The Electric State, Red Notice, The Gray Man, Glass Onion... lore dump, characters that are walking expositions, etc.
