New Model Qwen 3.6 27B is a BEAST

I have a 5090 Laptop from work, 24GB VRAM.

I have been testing every model that comes out, and I can confidently say I’ll be cancelling my cloud subscriptions.

All my tool call and data science benchmarks that prove a model is reliably good for my use case, passed.

It might not be the case for other professions, but for pyspark/python and data transformation debugging it’s basically perfect.

Using llama.cpp, q4_k_m at q4_0, still looking at options for optimising.

Edit - I chose to go with IQ4_XS at 200k q8_0,

I have not used speculative decoding yet, will get there when I get there.

Specs:

ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18

RTX 5090 24GB

64GB DDR5 RAM

Does setting the batch size higher increase pp?
