Pardon me, do I know you?

Why are you attacking me?

I don't think they're attacking you, but suggesting you read more carefully. The information provided is correct and clear, but you need to let go of your own biases when consuming it.

I personally prefer the M to the B. I guess as an engineer, noticing the units comes pretty naturally.

25-35 Billion is expected these days, there's many models of this size, it's very common. (Gemma 4 31B, Qwen 3.6 25B & 35B, JT 35B, EXAONE 35B, Nemotron 30B, GLM 4.7-flash 30B, Servam 30B, LFM2 24B, Granite 4.1 30B...)

Announcing something that's 1/1000th is significant and remarkable! Hiding it in a single letter is burying the lede.
