Gemma 4 26b is the perfect all around local model and I'm surprised how well it does.

I got a 64gb memory mac about a month ago and I've been trying to find a model that is reasonably quick, decently good at coding, and doesn't overload my system. My test I've been running is having it create a doom style raycaster in html and js I've been told qwen 3 coder next was the king, and while its good, the 4bit variant always put my system near the edge. Also I don't know if it was because it was the 4bit variant, but it always would miss tool uses and get stuck in a loop guessing the right params.
