Experimentation with Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 - Guidance needed

In three linesDeveloper testing Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 locally on modest hardware (i5-12400, 64GB RAM, 2x GTX 1050 Ti). Achieves ~40 t/s prompt processing and 12-18 t/s generation. MoE, quantization, and speculative decoding make local LLMs viable without expensive hardware.
