About

What Qwen3.6 is

Read our How to Run Qwen3.6 NVFP4 Guide! 2.5x faster throughput than other NVFP4 quants. This is an Unsloth NVFP4 quantized checkpoint calibrated on a mixture of our Unsloth dataset + UltraChat dataset. Works on a 24GB VRAM GPU. Benchmarks on 1xB200 128 concurrency. NVFP4 Accuracy Benchmarks For accuracy benchmarks, we conducted MMLU-Pro, AIME 2025, GPQA for FP8, BF16, NVIDIA's NVFP4 and our NVFP4s - we show our faster quants do similarly on all: Read all benchmarks in our NVFP4 blog vLLM Run Instructions To install vLLM in a separate venv: Then to serve the 27B NVFP4 quant: Also do NOT use the Marlin backend since it's 2x slower - use the native vLLM or cute-DSL / CUTLASS / flashinfertrtllm backends! DGX Spark You must use the below or you will get 2x slower inference! Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) This checkpoint includes the MTP module, so it can act as its own speculative draft for faster decoding, but somewhat less throughput [](https://chat.qwen.ai) [!Note] This repository contains model weights and configuration files for the post-trained model in the Hugging Face Transformers format. These artifacts are compatible with Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, KTransformers, etc. Following the February release of the Qwen3.5 series, we're pleased to share the first open-weight variant of Qwen3.6. Built on direct feedback from the community, Qwen3.6 prioritizes stability and real-world utility, offering developers a more intuitive, responsive, and genuinely productive coding experience. Qwen3.6 Highlights This release delivers substantial upgrades, particularly in - Agentic Coding: the model now handles frontend workflows and repository-level reasoning with greater fluency and precision. - Thinking Preservation: we've introduced a new option to retain reasoning context from historical messages, streamlining iterative development and reducing overhead. For more details, please refer to our blog post Qwen3.6-27B.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

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