Ok in terms of running a 2.8T parameter model, that's true.
Looking more broadly though, a model I can run on my laptop (Gemma 4) is ~4 points away from GPT-5.3 codex or Sonnet 4.5 on arena.ai LLM leaderboard. Those models were SOTA less than a year ago.
And the leaderboard has Opus 4.8 thinking +2 points away from Gemini 3.6 flash. Try to use Gemini flash in an agentic coding harness and see what comes out.
