Notes
Q3_K_M
Q3_K_M needs 14GB; 8GB VRAM is insufficient. Heavy offloading makes inference impractical. Qwen 3.6 dense 27B; VRAM slightly above Qwen 3.5-27B. Does not fit in 8GB VRAM (15GB required for Q3_K_M). Estimated for rtx-5060-8gb; verify with community benchmarks.
About Qwen3.6-27B
Qwen3.6-27B (27B) is a chat, coding, ai coding, reasoning, multi-purpose model. Dense 27B from the Qwen 3.6 family (April 2026). Strong coding and agentic workflows; native multimodal. 262K context window. VRAM figures include modest KV headroom at default context; long-context runs need more memory or KV cache quantization. Apache 2.0.
