Huh I didn't see those instructions when I tried it last week. Must not have looked closely enough. I do remember it not having NPU support (confirmed by other people) back at the Gemma 3 launch a while ago.

SqliteBrowser will let you open up your tables in an Excel-type view. You can also edit directly from the GUI. Still not as frictionless as a plain text file, and I'm not sure how good the search functionality is, but it lets you skip having to write any SQL.

> Google’s engineers likely gave up on trying to compile custom attention kernels for Apple’s proprietary tensor blocks iirc.

The AI Edge Gallery app on Android (which is the officially recommended way to try out Gemma on phones) uses the GPU (lacks NPU support) even on first party Pixel phones. So it's less of "they didn't want to interface with Apple's proprietary tensor blocks" and more of that they just didn't give a f in general. A truly baffling decision.

I tried it and it was unusably slow at ~5-6 TPS. 26A4B gets close to 40 TPS which is faster than you can read, and still pretty quick with reasoning enabled.

I have a 128 GB Strix Halo tablet (same as the other commenter here with the Framework Desktop). I'm using the larger Gemma 4 26B-A4B model (only 28 GB @ Q8) and it's been working great and runs very fast.

It's a 100% replacement for free ChatGPT/Gemini.

Compared to the paid pro/thinking models... Gemma does have reasoning, and I have used the reasoning mode for some tax & legal/accounting advice recently as well as other misc problems. It's worked well for that, but I haven't tried any real difficult tasks. From what I've heard re. agentic coding, the open weight models are ~18-24 months behind Anthropic & Google's SOTA.

Qwen 3.5 122B-A10B should just fit into 128 GB with a Q4/5 and may be a bit smarter. There's apparently also a similar sized Gemma 4 model but they haven't released it yet, the 26B was the largest released.

If you're looking to buy new hardware, also consider the Asus Rog Flow Z13. It has the same chip as the Framework desktop and is ~20% cheaper ($2,700) for the 128 GB spec while coming in a tablet/laptop form factor. It's capped at a slightly lower power but Strix Halo scales down very well in TDP - I never even use the max power mode on my Z13 because you don't really get any extra perf.

The only downside is that I suspect the Framework would be a decent bit quieter under load (not that this thing is abnormally loud). As well as you're limited to a single M.2 2230 internal SSD slot in this (I believe Micron recently launched a 4 TB model, but generally you'll max out at 2 TB without using an external enclosure).

I don't have anything against the Framework, I'm sure it's a great machine, but the Z13 is an incredible portable all-in-one device that can handle everything from general PC use to gaming to tablet/entertainment to LLMs & high perf.

That part didn't make any sense to me either. Yes, the natural circadian cycle in a vacuum is slightly over 24 hours, but exposure to light keeps it synced to the normal 24-hour day. If you free run sleep your cycle should stay locked to 24 hours, just like it has always been with our ancestors who lived without artificial light.

"Violent"? Do you consider news reporting to be violent too? This isn't remotely in the league of all the shooter games you can find on the store.

Please elaborate

> Is there anything we can do to push back against and discourage the externalization of costs onto others?

On a societal scale, no. Occasionally this works in some individual cases. Like the online outrage over SOPA/PIPA 15 years ago.

But when entity X can gain $$$$$$ (or power) from doing an action, and that action costs everyone only $ (or a minor bit of inconvenience or ideological righteousness), then the average person has very little incentive to take time out of their day-to-day life to fight it.

Meanwhile the entity will do whatever it takes to get the $$$$$$/power because they have a huge incentive. This is the same mechanism that allows democracies to be eroded, as we're seeing right now in the US.

That whole fiasco actually soured me on Anthropic. They were clearly super desperate to take blood money. "Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences."

AMD Strix Halo. Available in the Framework desktop, various mini PCs, and the Asus Rog Flow Z13 "gaming tablet." The Z13 is still at $2700 for 128 GB which is an incredible deal with today's RAM prices.

There's also the Nvidia DGX Spark.

You have yet to answer the original question - what do you actually do with OpenClaw? A concrete example of something that actually happens, not a system architecture description.

Agreed
