Google Just Found a Loophole in AI Hardware Limitations

Gemma 4 12B answers the rumor about a new intermediate model between their mobile (E2B, E4B) and more hardware heavy models (26B MoE, 31B) but really stepped up the game with QAT (Quantization Aware Training). This is on top of the MTP (Multi-Token Processing) support for these models! Gemma 4 is a serious step in capability and performance for local models across the board. Nice to see at least some level of competition from other labs since Qwen has been backpacking the entire industry for local Ai recently!
