> Yeah, Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-NVFP4 produces better responses than Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 (both from unsloth), but I'm mostly using them for programming in various ways, mostly Rust, Clojure, Python and JavaScript, and some translations tasks, but not much more than that, so YMMV. > > Edit: as a concrete example, I'm working on a "optimization framework via agent harness" right now, Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 is often unable to actually complete the optimization within 100 turns, while Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-NVFP4 has no issues finishing within ~50 turns or so.

But why are you using Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 compared to the FP8 or full version? In my experience the Q8 of 27B is on par sometimes better than 122B. I am experiemnting witb higher quants for 122B to fit on my Strix Halo, but still, the difference honestly for my workflow is not that much. I just wish they released 3.6-122B version.

dense small models do not like quantization. i find 27b fp8 to be smarter albeit less knowledgable versus the 122B
