Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-oQ3e-mtp
[!NOTE] Updated 2026-10-29: Re-quantized with the improved oQe quantization in oMLX 0.7.3. Please re-download if you have an earlier copy.
This model was quantized using oQ (oMLX v0.7.3) mixed-precision quantization with improved oQe (jundot/omlx#4930).
A mixed-precision MLX checkpoint of Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, a mixture-of-experts vision-language model with 35B total and 3B activated parameters and a hybrid layout of Gated DeltaNet and Gated Attention layers. It includes the language model, the vision encoder and the multi-token prediction (MTP) head.
The effective average is 3.807 bits/weight for the language backbone and 3.978 bits/weight for the complete checkpoint.
Quantization and Bit Distribution
oQ3e allocates bits by measured layer sensitivity, then rounds each group with an importance matrix (128 samples x 512 tokens) and a weighted least-squares refit of its scale and bias.
