Gemma 4 31B hits tool-call bugs

Google's newly released Gemma 4 31B flagship is reportedly failing basic tool calls in early LocalLLaMA tests. Despite high reasoning benchmarks, community reports point to inference-engine compatibility issues with llama-cpp and the new Apache 2.0 licensed model.

// ANALYSIS

Gemma 4 31B's promising agentic performance is being bottlenecked by day-one implementation bugs in popular local inference tools. High benchmark scores fail to translate into reliability due to inference engine issues handling the new Gemma 4 tool-calling format in llama-cpp. As Google's first truly open-licensed flagship, these early local-hosting hurdles highlight a critical gap between raw model capability and ecosystem readiness.

Plannotator 0.19.24 adds Amp support and configurable storage

Plannotator 0.19.24 is a substantial release that expands the tool beyond Claude Code with native Amp support, adds a `PLANNOTATOR_DATA_DIR` override so users can move the default `~/.plannotator` data directory, introduces Auto Mode in the permission selector for newer Claude Code versions, and fixes a Pi approval crash after plan acceptance. The update folds multiple stacked PRs into one release and pushes the project further toward a multi-agent review layer rather than a single-agent hook utility.
