Qwen3.6-35B-A3B GGUF (AutoRound Quantized)

This repository contains GGUF quantized versions of Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B created using Intel's AutoRound quantization method.

Quantization Details

The models were quantized using various schemes provided by the auto-round tool. For better compatibility and smaller size, we provide unified multimodal projector (mmproj) files in F16, BF16, and F32 formats.

Generate the Model

The models were generated using Intel's AutoRound with the following command:

auto-round --model Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B --output_dir ./quantized/ --scheme <SCHEME> --iters 0

Usage with llama.cpp

These models can be used with llama.cpp. For multimodal usage, you must specify the projector file:

./llama-cli -m Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Q4_K_M.gguf --mmproj mmproj-model-f16.gguf --image your_image.jpg -p "Describe this image."

About AutoRound

AutoRound is an advanced quantization technique from Intel that aims to minimize accuracy loss through automated rounding optimization.
