It's not just LLM sourced though, folks have literally tried this after the release with the 26A4B model and it wasn't very good. Maybe the dense ~31B model is worthwhile though.
I agree with your criticism. I should have simply said that I had good results with gemma 4 tool use, and agentic coding with gemma 4 didn’t yet work well for me.
Everyone hated Qwen3.5 at launch too because so many implementations were broken and couldn’t do tool calling.
You need to ignore social media “I tried this and it sucks” echo chambers for new model releases.
