In anticipation of Gemma 4's release, how was your experience with previous gemma models (at their times)

Key Points

  • The post asks Reddit users to share their experiences with earlier Gemma model releases and whether those results make them excited or skeptical about the upcoming Gemma 4.
  • It frames the discussion as “anticipation” rather than reporting a new launch, focusing on user sentiment and perceived model quality over time.
  • Participants are implicitly comparing performance, usability, and reliability of prior Gemma variants “at their times” to set expectations for Gemma 4.

Pretty much the title, given that gemma 4 should be released ~today/tomorrow, I'm curious if anyone has used the previous models and has good reasons to be excited (or pessimistic) about the new model
