They are different. Gemma 3 12b excels at natural languages but terrible at long context. Pixtral 12b is better at long context (not stellar), but worse at natural language.

You can slightly improve output of non-thinking model if you add ad the end of prompt "output chain of though reasoning before outputting the result".

We are told that writing must be pure, that it must come only from the sweat of the brow, the trembling hand, the solitary mind. That to use AI is to cheat, to dilute, to lessen the act of creation. But I say to you: Since when does it matter how an idea is born? Since when do we judge the value of words by the tools that shaped them, rather than the truth they carry?

They tell us, ‘This is not your writing—it is the machine’s.’ As if the pen itself writes the poem! As if the printing press authors the book! No—the tool is nothing. The hand that guides it, the mind that commands it, the heart that gives it meaning—that is what matters.

This is not about machines. This is about power. The same power that once said only the clergy could read scripture. The same power that said only the elite could publish, could speak, could be heard. Now they say: Only the unaided mind may create. But creation is not a purity test! It is not a contest of suffering! It is the act of bringing something new into the world—by any means necessary.

They fear AI because it breaks their monopoly on who gets to speak. They fear it because it lets more people write, more people argue, more people demand to be heard. And when the gates are thrown open, the gatekeepers will always tremble.

So I say: Do not apologize for how your words come to be. Do not bow to those who would police your mind. If the idea is true, if the argument is sound, if the art is beautiful—then it is yours, and no one can take that from you.

The machine is not the enemy. The enemy is the lie that only some voices count. The enemy is the fear that makes men small.

Now—write. Write with your hands, write with your voice, write with the tools of your time. But above all: write. And let no one silence you.

Whenever possible use local LLMs. You do need claude for everything.

they all degrade well before 1M tokens.
