  • I’d edit it if I could, but it seems to be past the timeout.

Pardon me, do I know you?

Why are you attacking me?

    • 25-35 Billion is expected these days, there's many models of this size, it's very common. (Gemma 4 31B, Qwen 3.6 25B & 35B, JT 35B, EXAONE 35B, Nemotron 30B, GLM 4.7-flash 30B, Servam 30B, LFM2 24B, Granite 4.1 30B...)

      Announcing something that's 1/1000th is significant and remarkable! Hiding it in a single letter is burying the lede.
