Local model progress in mid-2026 driven by sparse attention and MoE

Models like Qwen 3.6 (27B dense, 35B MoE), Gemma 4, GLM-5 (744B MoE), and DeepSeek V4 (MoE, 1M context) now run locally thanks to sparse attention, latent KV compression, multi-token prediction, and 4-bit quantization. Active parameters remain small while total parameter counts grow.
