About Qwen3.6-35B-A3B
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (35B) is a chat, coding, ai coding, reasoning, multi-purpose model. MoE with 35B total parameters and ~3B active per token. Local stacks still load the full expert pool, so VRAM tracks total size. Q4_K_M needs ~22GB at practical context (RTX 4090 / 24GB class sweet spot). Q3_K_M (~16GB) fits 16GB cards at default context with minimal KV headroom; long 262K runs need KV cache quantization. 8GB cards cannot run this model without heavy CPU offload. Apache 2.0.
