A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA subreddit shared their experience testing Google's new Gemma 4 models, specifically the 12B and 26B-A4B versions. The user found that the 26B-A4B model, despite using only 4 billion active parameters, outperformed the 12B model in generating complex HTML5 canvas animations with physics. While the 26B-A4B was faster, the 12B model offered comparable performance at a significantly lower VRAM usage, making it a suitable option for devices with 16GB of RAM. AI
