Model Overview
This model, exolabs/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-MXFP4_MOE-dequant-bf16-vllm, is a specialized conversion of the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model. It has been meticulously processed from its original GGUF format, specifically the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-MXFP4_MOE.gguf file, into standard Hugging Face safetensors. This conversion is optimized for deployment with vLLM, a high-performance inference engine.
Key Technical Details
- Architecture: Based on the Qwen3.6-A3B model, featuring a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) design.
- Quantization Handling: The conversion process involves dequantizing MXFP4 MoE expert tensors to FP32, applying Qwen3.6/GDN tensor remaps, and handling RMSNorm offsets. These are then cast to BF16 for efficient vLLM serving.
- Tensor Fusion: MoE
gateandupexpert tensors are fused intomlp.experts.gate_up_projto streamline operations. - Output Format: The model is provided as sharded safetensors, comprising 693 Hugging Face keys across 21 shards, totaling approximately 69.3 GB.
Validation and Usage
The conversion and optimization process included rigorous validation steps, such as GGUF dry-run mapping, MXFP4 probe, and numeric spot-checks, all of which passed successfully. The model has also passed Transformers generation smoke tests and vLLM smoke tests (version 0.23.0 with --language-model-only).
Intended Use Case
This model is specifically configured for text-only generation tasks. Users should deploy it with vLLM using the --language-model-only flag, as the visual tower weights are intentionally absent from this language-focused conversion.
