Qwen3.6 27B, self-quantized to GGUF by Atomic Chat. Built straight from Qwen's original weights with a per-tensor importance matrix. Runs fully offline.

Highlights

• First open-weight Qwen3.6 variant, following the Qwen3.5 series, with a focus on stability and real-world utility.
• Agentic coding that handles frontend workflows and repository-level reasoning with greater fluency and precision.
• Thinking Preservation, a new option to retain reasoning context from historical messages to streamline iterative development.
• Base model is multimodal (vision encoder); these GGUF quants cover the text path.
• 262,144-token native context, extensible up to ~1,010,000 tokens.
• Full quant ladder with an importance matrix on every quant over calibration_datav3.

[!NOTE] These GGUFs are self-quantized from the original weights, not a repack. The importance matrix keeps low-bit quants closer to the full-precision model.

[!IMPORTANT] Always pass --jinja so the Qwen3.6 27B chat template is applied. Without it the model can emit malformed turns.

Model Overview

<img src="https://huggingface.co/AlexAtomic/qwen36-27b-GGUF/resolve/main/benchmark.png" alt="Qwen3.6 27B benchmark scores" style="width:100%; max-width:900px;"/>

Scores are Qwen's published results for the base Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B. Quantization preserves the large majority of this; Q4_K_M and up sit within a point or two of full precision.

Choosing a quant

[!TIP] Pick the largest file that fits your (V)RAM with room for context. Q4_K_M or UD-Q4_K_XL is the sweet spot for most setups; Q6_K or Q8_0 for maximum fidelity.

Get started

Run Qwen3.6 27B locally with:

• Atomic Chat: the easiest path. Open the app, search AlexAtomic/qwen36-27b-GGUF, pick a quant, hit Use this model.
• llama.cpp: llama-server -hf AlexAtomic/qwen36-27b-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 8192
• Ollama: ollama run hf.co/AlexAtomic/qwen36-27b-GGUF:Q4_K_M
• LM Studio / Jan: search the repo id, download any quant.

Best practices

Qwen's recommended Instruct (non-thinking) settings. Thinking mode for general tasks: temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0.

Run in llama.cpp

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
cmake llama.cpp -B llama.cpp/build -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DGGML_CUDA=ON
cmake --build llama.cpp/build --config Release -j --target llama-cli llama-server

./llama.cpp/build/bin/llama-server \
    -hf AlexAtomic/qwen36-27b-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \
    --jinja -ngl 99 -c 8192 -fa on

How these were made

1. Download Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B (original weights).
2. Convert to f16 GGUF with llama.cpp.
3. Build an importance matrix over calibration_datav3 (100 chunks).
4. Quantize the full ladder with --imatrix.
5. UD-Q4_K_XL additionally pins the token-embedding and output tensors to Q8_0.
