Gemma4:26b's reasoning capabilities are crazy.

Been experimenting with it, first on my buddy's compute he let me borrow, and then with the Gemini SDK so that I don't need to keep stealing his macbook from 600 miles away. Originally my home agent was run through Gemini-3-Flash because no other model I've tried has been able to match it's reasoning ability. The script(s) I have it running through are a re-implementation of a multi-speaker smart home speaker setup, with several rasperry pi zeroes functioning as speaker satellites for a central LLM hub, right now a raspberry pi 5, soon to be an M4 mac mini prepped for full local operation.
