Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder โ€” APEX GGUF

APEX (Adaptive Precision for EXpert Models) quantizations of Jackrong/Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder โ€” a Qwen3.6-35B-A3B MoE tuned for coding.

This model ships an MTP head โ€” for self-speculative decoding out of the box, see the MTP-bundled repo: mudler/Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder-APEX-MTP-GGUF.

What is APEX?

APEX is a quantization strategy for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. It classifies tensors by role (routed expert, shared expert, attention) and applies a layer-wise precision gradient โ€” edge layers (first/last 5) get higher precision, middle layers get more aggressive compression. I-variants use diverse imatrix calibration (chat, code, reasoning, tool-calling, agentic traces, Wikipedia).

See the APEX project for full details.

Architecture

  • โ€”Model: Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder (Qwen3_5MoeForConditionalGeneration, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B base)
  • โ€”Layers: 40 ยท Experts: 256 routed + 1 shared (8 active) ยท Total/Active: ~35B / ~3B
  • โ€”Attention: Hybrid (full attention every 4th layer, linear otherwise)
  • โ€”Vision: Built-in vision encoder (mmproj included)
  • โ€”Calibration: v1.3 diverse dataset
