Testing shared on r/LocalLLaMA confirms Gemma 4 26B A4B (the 4-billion active parameter MoE variant) retains full capability at 245,283 out of 262,144 context tokens — 94% utilization. The post drew 182 upvotes and 80 comments, with practitioners verifying the result across different hardware setups. This is significant because many MoE models degrade sharply at high context utilization; Gemma 4's flat performance curve at near-maximum context strengthens its position against Qwen 3.5 for long-document workflows.
