I really wanted to see the review details. It's clearly above the acceptance threshold of findings for me. When you fall into the cycle of rejection from ARR, it's hard to come out.

Itโ€™s probably just a bug for Qwen3-30B-A3B. But for Gemma 3, another similar issue exists โ€” since it uses a bidirectional architecture and doesnโ€™t yet support fast attention kernels, most implementations fall back to PyTorchโ€™s SDPA, which is slower by default.
