LocalLLaMA users expand beyond Qwen, GLM

A Reddit discussion in r/LocalLLaMA asks what models people are using beyond Qwen and GLM, with commenters naming alternatives like Gemma 3, MiniMax M2.5, Nemotron, Phi-4, and K2-V2-Instruct. The thread also highlights OCR-specific tool choices such as Marker and Granite Docling.

// ANALYSIS

Community threads like this are useful early signal for real-world local model adoption, even when they are not formal launches.

–Practitioners are mixing fast small models and heavier long-context models based on task, not hype.
–Nemotron and MiniMax show up as practical alternatives in active use, not just benchmark mentions.
–OCR remains a separate workflow lane where specialized tools (Marker, Granite Docling) beat general text models.
