Gemma 4 codes well, Qwen 3.5 leads agents

Reddit compares Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 using Artificial Analysis benchmarks across intelligence, coding, and agentic indexes. Qwen 3.5 remains the stronger default for local agents, while Gemma 4’s dense model looks most appealing for coding-heavy setups with enough hardware headroom.

// ANALYSIS

Qwen 3.5 still looks like the better default for local agents; Gemma 4 mainly becomes interesting if you care most about dense-model coding and have enough hardware headroom.

–Qwen 3.5 leads the cited intelligence and agentic indexes in both dense and MoE forms.
–Gemma 4’s dense model appears competitive for coding, but its MoE result is materially weaker.
–For Apple Silicon and other constrained local setups, Qwen 3.5 MoE remains the safer pick.
–Gemma 4 31B dense is worth a trial if your workload is coding-heavy and you can run dense models efficiently.
