Gemma 3 27B is 27.4B, 128K tokens on the official card. GLM 5.3 Flash is 320B total / 18B active, 1,048,576 tokens. Q6 / Q5 / Q4 file sizes come from the listed GGUFs on each /models page, or a calculator estimate when a listing is missing. Q3 stays off. Q4 fits Gemma 3 27B on one R9700 at 4K and spills on GLM 5.3 Flash. Neither model was measured on the local desktop. Fit numbers are calculator estimates. llama.cpp first.
How we test — Measured cells cite official amdai-bench/run@1 cards. Estimates stay labeled. Q3 is estimate-only. Q1/Q2 stay off.

Gemma 3 27B holds Q4 on one R9700 at 4K. GLM 5.3 Flash needs RAM offload.
Keep llama.cpp first. The side that holds Q4 in VRAM (Gemma 3 27B) is the less painful coding-agent host. House Flash / agent pins stay R9700 / local desktop — they do not transfer. No invented agent speed.
Cited context is 128K tokens vs 1,048,576 tokens. KV grows with context. Q4 at 32K fits Gemma 3 27B and spills on GLM 5.3 Flash on one R9700. Read /long-context for measured R9700 35B 128K–262K cards. We do not invent a 128K decode figure here.
