Local LLM community wants Gemma 5 to stay chat-first and avoid the Qwen benchmark-chasing trap

A Reddit local-LLM user hopes Google's Gemma 5 family sticks to its 'chat model first' philosophy rather than following Qwen's path, arguing that today's 30B-class open models are converging into a mass of code-focused benchmarks chasers. They praise Gemma 4 31B for feeling less robotic and more creative, and worry benchmaxxing strips open models of their 'soul'.
