Gemma’s “agentic” pitch falls apart in a local RTX 5090 test
kolliwolli · reddit · 2026-07-22
A user testing local models on an RTX 5090 says Gemma’s alleged “agentic” strengths do not show up in practice.
- They tried Gemma with tools like opencode and Hermes and could not even get simple tasks like Snake generation to work.
- The same prompts worked with Claude Sonnet via API without issue.
- The post asks whether the problem is the 4-bit quantization or whether Gemma is simply not as strong in this agentic workflow as expected.
