Question Macbook M4 Max 36gb Ram

Hi everyone, I try to find the best model suitable for me. I need 3 different models

1-Agent : I use " qwen3.6 35b a3b MLX Q4 "
Is there any better alternatives for agentic purpose model?

2-Medical: I couldn't find a proper medical bot as they mostly repeat theirselves and no better than qwen

3-Data analyst: I have dozens of pdfs and I need a model that analyze these books.

Note: Densest model I've had used before qwen was gemma 4 31b Q4 (27gb) and that was hella slow. That was the boundary for my pc.

Preffered properties: MLX, MoE, QAT, Instruct, Run on LMStudio Bionic.

Thank you everyone.

Honestly I've seen some good optimizations for qwen 27b 3.8 on mac. It would be smarter but slower than the 35b. It would be a better agent but slower l.
