Gemma-4-26B-A4B does not require 50+ Gb of vram. It is a MoE model so only 4B of active parameters at a time and not as GPU dependent. I can run it on 16gb of vram and ~20gb of DDR5 regular ram for a 8 bit quant.
Getting downvoted by all the emotional people here is not worth it; this thread does not welcome a polite discussion especially from the pro-Israel side. Like in any social media with a voting system (terrible idea, I might add), the vocal and active majority wants to disentivise the disagreement.
I don’t see any pro-Israel side commenter here but me at best. IMHO I do my best to keep discussion as polite as possible having in mind the sensitivity of the topic.
I probably wasn’t clear in the above comment - but what I tried to say is that the thread disincentivizes pro-Israel comments; I am pro-Israel as well and prefer not to engage.

I'm not erasing the existence of the many people you've encountered who don't like you. But what if negative experiences in your past have eroded your distress tolerance and you now cannot distinguish normal human conflict from an affront to you, personally? Or, what if you have given up on human contact because, subconsciously, you made a calculation that simulacra of human contact might be unsatisfying but, like methadone, they give you just enough to avoid the real stuff?
I don't think any of the psychological pictures I have painted are necessarily correct. But I do know that what you're telling me is BS.
A couple of years ago, one rainy Saturday morning, I woke up with a devastating hangover and nothing else to do - so I decided to build myself a PC, like in good old days. Turned out it wasn't at all difficult to find a local store; only two-three hours later I was already driving home with all these sexy looking boxes filled with hardware. That was in Sweden.
People are already conditioned to swipe their loyalty cards at the end of the shopping. Requirement to swipe Digital ID for transaction to go through will be a next step.
Low social credit score? Oh you cannot have those ice creams.
You said something bad about the party online? No oranges for you.
