    I’m using was released at the beginning of August 2025 (From an LLM development perspective, it feels like an eternity to me)

    I mean yeah, more than 6 months in AI world is an eternity 🤣

    the big ones are gemma 4 and qwen 3.5

    I’m using Gemma 4 and it works really really well, it’s sad to me that I’m using big tech’s model but it’s just so far ahead of mistral and others that I have no choice

    Qwen is really good with thinking turned off, turned on it has a massive overthinking problem, like you say “hi” and it’ll think for 3 minutes on how best to reply

    Still waiting for Deepseek to come out with v4 at this stage but Gemma 4 is my current sota self hosted model

    A fair system would require they downsize to something more reasonable and live off the proceeds if they genuinely don’t have any other source of income in retirement

    Agreed and I think ironically you would then need to give concessions to people over 65, they have no reason to downsize at the moment

    If you own a million dollar 3 bedroom house, after you’ve done it up, put it on the market, paid all the stamp duty and fee’s and then bought a 1 or 2 bedroom house, you have effectively gained nothing and lost a bedroom

    Hence why they’d rather hole up in their million dollar mansions because there’s no incentive for them to sell it

    There would need to be maybe a waiving of stamp duty or something or downsizer incentive to give people a reason to do it

    Hell even if they kept all the fee’s etc but said downsizing to a smaller house once you’re over 65 gives a 20% boost to your pension payment or something like this, even that would be a credible incentive as there are many pensioners living in million dollar houses that are asset rich (house) but cash poor (living off the pension)
