Gemma 4 and Kimi K2 models tested for local inference

The second round of a model showdown includes Gemma 4 from Google and Kimi K2 from Moonshot AI, with a focus on local inference capabilities. Gemma 4, a 27B parameter model, was easily integrated into the Coder platform. In contrast, Kimi K2, a 1 trillion parameter model with a 256K context window, presented significant challenges for local inference due to its massive 579 GB size, requiring the use of llama.cpp for memory-mapped NVMe offloading.
