Gemma 4 dense tops Qwen 3.6 in local MySQL benchmark
A developer testing Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 models on complex MySQL query generation found that only the Gemma 4 31B Dense model produced a working query. Both MoE and Dense variants were tested using Q4_K_M quants with thinking mode enabled, but Gemma 4 proved considerably faster and more accurate than Qwen.
// ANALYSIS
While Qwen models have historically dominated local coding benchmarks, this user report suggests Gemma 4's dense architecture might be pulling ahead for specific database tasks.
- –Gemma 4 31B Dense was the only model capable of producing a working MySQL query for the test case
- –Qwen 3.6 (both 35B MoE and 27B Dense) failed the task even when using larger Q6_K quants
- –The results highlight that dense models can still outperform MoE architectures of similar sizes on complex reasoning tasks
- –Gemma 4 also demonstrated noticeably faster inference speeds than Qwen 3.6 during the test
