- [X-097] GEMMATHINK · GEMMATHINK · question: Does Gemma 4 26B-A4B UD-Q2_K_XL + 1024-token thinking as the deep tier (arm G) match or beat Qwen3.6-35B-A3B + thinking (control T, DEEPTHINK) on V-para, and is it faster (BETTER / PARITY-FASTER / NO)? · result: −0.028 (−0.057…+0.003) · set V-para (V-para); v0.1 (smoke 2 items), judge Claude Opus, Claude Haiku (L1), n 51 judged ids (58 generated) per seed; slice 20 ids at stage 1, seeds 42, 43, CI −0.057…+0.003 · verdict: closed (closed (verdict NO: G is faster than T but not at parity. PARITY-FASTER failed because CI low −0.057 < −0.03, and BETTER failed))
