Qwen3.6 is an open-weight language model from RedHatAI, listed in the AxForge catalogue. AxForge can bring it up on EU-owned hardware for you on request — with the licence handled where one is required.
About
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 NVFP4 Quantized RedHatAI/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 This is a preliminary version (and subject to change) of NVFP4 quantized Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model. The model has both weights and activations quantized to NVFP4 format with vllm-project/llm-compressor. It is compatible and tested against vllm main. Deploy it with: vllm serve RedHatAI/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --moebackend flashinfercutlass. If you have hardware with more compute than memory bandwidth, you may prefer this MoE variant for performance reasons. Creation Script: Run this script with LLM Compressor main and latest transformers. Evaluation This model was evaluated on GSM8K-Platinum, MMLU-Pro, IFEval, Math 500, GPQA Diamond, AIME 25, and LiveCodeBench v6 using lm-evaluation-harness and lighteval, served with vLLM using --language-model-only. Accuracy Reproduction The results were obtained using the following commands: The model was served with vLLM using the following command: Each benchmark was run 3 times with different seeds (42, 1234, 4158), except AIME 25 which used 8 seeds (42, 1234, 4158, 5322, 1356, 9843, 3344, 5678). Scores are averaged across all seeds. lm-eval benchmarks GSM8K-Platinum (0-shot) IFEval (0-shot) MMLU-Pro (0-shot) lighteval benchmarks litellmconfig.yaml: Math 500, GPQA Diamond, LiveCodeBench v6 (0-shot) AIME 25 (0-shot) BFCLv4 BFCL requires the model to be registered in the leaderboard codebase before running evaluation. Step 1 — Register the model in bfcleval/constants/modelconfig.py Add the following entry to apiinferencemodelmap: Step 2 — Add the key to bfcleval/constants/supportedmodels.py Add "Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4" to the SUPPORTEDMODELS list. Step 3 — Start the vLLM server (use the command at the top of this section; the --served-model-name flag ensures BFCL can find the model by its registered slug). Step 4 — Generate responses and evaluate

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys redhatai-qwen3-6 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (redhatai-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":"redhatai-qwen3-6","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
