About
Model Overview Description: The NVIDIA Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 model is the quantized version of Alibaba's Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model, which is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture. For more information, please check here. The NVIDIA Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 model is quantized with Model Optimizer. This model is ready for commercial/non-commercial use. <br Third-Party Community Consideration This model is not owned or developed by NVIDIA. This model has been developed and built to a third-party’s requirements for this application and use case; see link to Non-NVIDIA (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B) Model Card from Alibaba.

How it works
Variants
Open weights ship in several sizes and precisions. One page, all the variants — pick the one that fits your GPU. VRAM figures are estimates from model size.
Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys nvidia-qwen3-6 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (nvidia-qwen3-6 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"nvidia-qwen3-6","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
