Elegant Solutions

Option A: Wait for Ollama (Recommended)

Option B: Direct HuggingFace Download

Option C: Use Gemma 3 as Stand-in

  • gemma3:4b already installed and functional
  • Sufficient for profile testing until Gemma 4 arrives
  • Swap models later with no code changes

Recommendation

Proceed with Option C for SPECTRUM Phase 1-2 (profile creation), switch to Gemma 4 when available for Phase 4 (stress testing).

@Rockachopa — Please confirm approach.
