Can you please make your substantive points without sharp elbows? We're trying for something different here, and would appreciate it if you'd post in the intended spirit.

I’d edit it if I could, but it seems to be past the timeout.

As the other poster noted, the post wasn’t meant to be read as a personal attack

[dang]

I've reopened it for editing if you want to (it's totally fine either way - we just care about fixing things going forward)

Pardon me, do I know you?

Why are you attacking me?

[osrec]

I don't think they're attacking you, but suggesting you read more carefully. The information provided is correct and clear, but you need to let go of your own biases when consuming it.

I personally prefer the M to the B. I guess as an engineer, noticing the units comes pretty naturally.

25-35 Billion is expected these days, there's many models of this size, it's very common. (Gemma 4 31B, Qwen 3.6 25B & 35B, JT 35B, EXAONE 35B, Nemotron 30B, GLM 4.7-flash 30B, Servam 30B, LFM2 24B, Granite 4.1 30B...)

Announcing something that's 1/1000th is significant and remarkable! Hiding it in a single letter is burying the lede.

I read it as 26B as well.
