  "transcript": "I know gemma 4 26b is (according to this sub) a bit behind for coding tasks but for language learning and scientific (health/biology/medical/clinical/biochem) queries it’s unbeaten even by Qwen 3.5/3.6. Since the competition in the small MOE models is generally between Qwen 3.5/3.6 and Gemma 4 I want to know who has use cases other than coding and RP here and which one wins for your use case?\n\n  \nI wish there was more than 2 small MOE models between 20b and 30b  (35b is pushing it a bit lol). Coding and agentic tasks obviously seem to be the main focus of this community but a lot of us have other common and niche use cases so I would love to hear yours!\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[26 upvotes] It's also great for translations, I really like this model, it's fast and very capable.\n\n[16 upvotes] The dense Gemma4 models are also great that that. I couldn't tell which one is better between 12B and 26B-A4B, but 31B is absolutely a beast. Sadly it's a bit to big to fit with a decent  context size on my machine.\n\n[10 upvotes] I keep wondering what people are talking about regarding coding ability? Does it fail on reasoning, speed, code quality, what?",
