I've had the opposite experience where we're refactoring the gnarliest shit anyone's ever seen because AI can actually understand it well enough to decompose, test, refactor, etc.

Genuinely curious why. I'm not a Googler and don't follow closely.

Not sure if it changed but this is written by NYTimes.

FWIW I think the WSJ is the best news source available and does not match this description.

I second unsloth models. I'm using them over blackwell-oriented nvfp4 models as they are (empirically) top quality and performance.

FWIW I'm running gemma4 31b on my 5090 and it's pretty great as well.

QAT, MTP, 128k context.

I liked Qwen 3.6 27b too, it just seems that Gemma4 is a bit underrated.
