That is a lot, what is your laptop hardware?
One issue I have with Gemma is that they seem to use old architectures that rely on full attention, requiring a lot of RAM for context and quickly degrading speeds as context is filled.
Qwen 3.5+ is much better in that regard with its super efficient context. Even on Macs, speeds take degrade much more slowly.

Yes, this is something I hope they will change. Gemma 4 31B is much slower on pre-Blackwell GPUs as a result, which is a bit of a shame for local model experimentation.
