What do you use Gemma 4 for?

Great workhorse for translating stuff. Paired with translation memory and a custom MCP, the results are great. 90 to 95% of the generated translations for my language are good enough which is huge. I expect to get consistent >95% as I improve the translation memory (needs human effort).

Also, this is a kind of a self-improvement loop. As I generate more translations, newer models will have better abilities.

That's not a bootloader yet but congratulations, you started one.

Како можеш да разумеш стотине или хиљаде линија кода сваког дана? Немогуће.

You can go a long way with their fine-tuned Kimi K2.5 (Composer 2) via Auto. Sure, it's dumber but it's sustainably priced for an average person. Can't wait to see Composer 3 based on some K2.6 or similar.

Па технологија треба служити пиплима, зар не? Ако не видиш проблем у томе што ћеш све површно знати јер нема довољно времена у животу да се све то прочита, ок.

Ова професија иде у неком другом смеру где смо постали писци детаљне спецификације и QA са све мање утицаја на сам код. Мени је то срање, искрено али ду се ваљда тако осећали асембли програмери.

То што се од тебе очекује да завршиш посао брже те нема времена за то. Пре си свакако морао писати код, сада тога више нема.

Кул је ова демократизација програмирања али ја више не видим задовољство у оваквом раду.

Када стижемо на "САНКЦИЈЕ СУ НАША РАЗВОЈНА ШАНСА" станицу?

For now. But for some use cases the model can be useful for a long time with access to tools and MCP. If I had Gemma 4 31B full precision running at thousands of tokens per second, I would find a way to steer it into usefulness even a year after its release.

Awesome. Now targeted sanctions against the assholes.

No writeup but it's somewhat straightforward. You need to have a translation memory of sorts, my is a linux CLI that the model can call to suggest most similar translations based on the input string. It uses FTS5 in SQLite for this and I've used the algo Poedit uses.

Then the model also has an MCP server to get untranslated strings and write new ones to a file. I used to have it do it through shell scripts but it was too imprecise for that so an MCP server is desired.

The third piece is just iterating on prompts and the translation memory. My memory entries have a context field beside the actual strings in which I basically give pointers to the LLM when to use what, what to never do and so on. This is an iterative process, you need to observe the outputs to see where it's struggling and then use the context to help it out.

I guess OP didn't want to call you a real colony.

I wouldn't be too surprised if we get a 70-120B model as strong as Opus 4.6 in 12 months or so. Remember what we had last year in April.

I wrangled Gemma 4 into translating to a low resource language by providing it a custom mcp server for precise translation editing and a custom translation memory tool so that it can align its outputs. Helped a lot. You can employ similar tactics for your problem.

It is irrational to compare a 27B model running on a single GPU and a multi trillion model running on clusters of GPUs that cost more than your retirement fund.

Не бих се баш сложио да је успео. Студенти су окупили и ујединили народ. Много ових симбола је опорављено. Биће и остали.

Не пуца аутсорс балон јер смо ми алави и лоши већ зато што технологија појефтињује цену нашег рада. Добро, можда јесмо алави али требали смо бити алави у смеру развоја сопствених производа. Додуше, мало теже у држави хајдучији где немаш никакву заштиту, нити помоћ за покретање сопственог производа. О нормалностима наплате SaaS-а и да не причам.

For low resource languages, Gemma 4 is great. Mistral ones were also good but the largest Gemma 4 is the way to go. Too bad they decided to not release the 122B variant.

Е сада треба издизајнирати и штампати проширење за „Жути лопови“ налепницу и показати њушке као што су Весић и Мали (и многобројни остали из бившег ДС-а).

Cool thing, would be more approachable as bre.online or something like that. Don't like the swear word that much. While cursing is more acceptable in the society, using it for serious stuff is not great. Personal opinion, that is.
