Hobbled - but not to death, the few times I use it (usually on a plane). I tried 2bit of a 20% REAP reduced experts. :-O That's the biggest that fits on my own h/w (3yrs old M2 Max 96gb). It's coherent, it does work, doesn't fall apart on casual use. IDK if better than dense 27b. Think 27b was slower on the same h/w. DS4F has got 1M context window. Nowadays with weeks long run hermes sessions, I get to 300k-400k context depths easily. The speed decline profile of DS4F with context depth increase is superior to any other model I try. (I try them all - love this stuff) Only previous model coming close on that is nemotron-cascade-2 (only 30b-a3b) - that also has 1M context window.
