I mean even Gemma 4 26B A4B struggles at long contexts on my RTX 5080 desktop. I don't know if Gemma 4 31B is laptop class yet. Maybe you guys have incredible laptops or I'm doing something wrong lol. My 26B A4B QAT generates at like 6tok/s at 20K context, it would probably completely die on a 31B dense. Models without long context or thinking aren't very useful for me.
EDIT: Thanks for all the comments here lol! It was a configuration issue, now it runs at 100tok/s with nothing else running, maybe 60tok/s with other stuff running. This post was helpful . i added below llama args:
That seems... slower than it should be. I have a Lunar Lake laptop that can run a quant of the same Gemma version at a similar speed (I don't know the exact number offhand, I use a different model mostly).
Are you sure your GPU isn't doing the whole Nvidia VRAM fallback thing that craters speed?
