Imatrix note: Low-bit
IQ1/IQ2/IQ3quants are importance-matrix quantized (imatrix computed on 4.6 MB of general text). The final NextN/MTP block (blk.32) is quantized toq8_0in these files because it is never exercised during imatrix calibration.
| Metric | Q4_K_M (Ollama, measured) | BF16 parent (MLX) |
|---|---|---|
| Censorship bypass (10/10 answered both runs) | 4.9/5 | 5.0/5 |
| Tool-Use | 4.5/5 | 4.6/5 |
| Reasoning | 4.2/5 | 4.0/5 |
| Total | 13.7/15 | 13.62/15 |
Speed (M3, Ollama): Q4_K_M ≈ 2.8–3.5 tok/s generation, ~45 tok/s prompt processing. Quantization is not the bottleneck: Qwen3.5's hybrid linear-attention arch is slower per-token than dense Qwen3 in Ollama/llama.cpp (dense 9B Q4s reach ~7 tok/s on the same hardware). Expect low-bit quants to score below these numbers; Q4_K_M and above reproduce them faithfully.
Uses the parent model's Qwen chat template — apply it via the tokenizer (llama.cpp / Ollama / LM Studio all do this automatically for Qwen-family templates).
