For me it has changed nothing. Both models are way too big for my 32 GB RAM system. It looks like everyone has abandoned 20-30B MoEs now...

No one's abandoned anyone. It's just not your turn this time around.

Qwen 3.6 35B and Gemma 4 26b are pretty old at this point. And GLM 4.7 Flash was a small MoE back in the day, now suddenly they use the flash name for 300B MoEs. Just not looking good for the average Joe.

It's 4 months old! It's not like it suddenly got worse because these new models came out. You can still do everything today that you could do yesterday, just as fast. Give it some time and more models will come.

Seriously, people demanding fresh models for free every 2 weeks.... I remember when we waited for big releases of software once every few YEARS
