Dear paper authors. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT MODEL SIZES IN THE PAPER TEXT AND FIGURE LEGENDS. Seriously. Specifying Gemma-3-12B isn't that many more characters than Gemma-3. I shouldn't have to trawl your methods for this. Gemma-3-27B is closer to Qwen-2-32B in basically everything I care about than it is to Gemma-3-1B. In fact the model size is the most important thing about the model! If you just said "27B" that would give me more information than "Gemma-3", yet somehow you have managed to provide 20% of the information in 80% of the characters! How did we end up with this particular convention?
