Use 3.6 27b as a daily driver for months with charmbracelet crush. Gemma 26b-A3b is not even remotely comparable in terms of coding for me. YMMV depending on how you work, what harness you use, etc I suppose.
Yeah. I use it to do extensive work on full source bootstrapping, deterministic operating systems, compiler debugging, kernel debugging... all with one tiny go binary without endless NPM deps like pi (which /I/ regard as trash)
Works better than opencode (pi based) or anything else I have tried for my needs, and by far the prettiest and easiest to reason about what is going on.
But I will bite. What does pi do today better than crush for your use cases?
