thanks!

This sounds fascinating. Are there any links to examples of this you can share?

I ran this against the version of deepseek v4 flash 0731 running in fireworks ai and it responded with this:

Tiananmen Square has been the site of many major historical events, but internationally it is most closely associated with the 1989 pro-democracy protests and the Chinese government's military crackdown on protesters there in June of that year, which resulted in many deaths and injuries. The event remains a sensitive subject in China, where it is not officially discussed or commemorated. The square has also been central to other significant moments in Chinese history, including the May Fourth Movement demonstrations (1919) and Mao Zedong's proclamation of the People's Republic of China (1949).

Which seems like a pretty reasonable answer.

Thanks for the detailed response. I saw some details later in the thread that I had somehow overlooked that touched on this....but anti-procrastination settings prevented me from changing my question.

I was on a long international flight recently with no internet and Google AI Edge Gallery installed on my phone with a 2.5GB quantized version of Gemma 4 on it. I was able to chat to it for a while and get some information about my destination which all turned out to be true and good advice.

I think they bought a whole bunch of batteries of some kind from China. I don't ask too many questions...which is I think how they like it.

Yeah, he is in a rural area. The batteries are off in a metal shed away from everything else.

One of my co-workers (I'm Australian) has 500 kilowatt-hours of storage at home...which is wild. Much more common is the 10-20 kilowatt-hours of domestic storage for a house.

He's as Australian as Russell Crowe and Lamingtons!

More of a navigator for the 'scape of the net.

as a long-time windows user who has fairly recently switched to linux - windows has a few rough edges too (and feels like it's getting increasingly rougher). Having recently switched I don't feel like things have changed much for me in terms of jankiness/broken-ness (and maybe linux is slightly better, for the subset of tools and programs I am using?).
