Gemma 4, Claude distill top local DM picks

Local LLM enthusiasts are benchmarking Google's new Gemma 4 lineup against Claude 4 distillations for tabletop roleplay. While the 31B dense model sets a new bar for creative prose, users with multi-GPU setups are seeking MoE alternatives to hit 15+ TPS at 100K+ context.

// ANALYSIS

The roleplay meta is shifting toward MoE models like the Gemma 4 26B A4B variant, which provides a speed boost for narrative logic without sacrificing long-term consistency. While the 31B dense model remains the quality king, its compute requirements keep it under 10 TPS, driving users toward Claude 4 distillations like Qwopus and KV cache quantization to maintain performance at 256K context.
