Qwen3.6 27B pure quant fits 16GB VRAM

A community developer released a pure quantized GGUF of the Qwen3.6 27B model optimized to fit entirely within 16GB of VRAM. The Q4_K_M release reduces model size to 15.4GB, allowing users to run it locally with minimal perplexity degradation in both MTP and non-MTP variants.

// ANALYSIS

This release is a prime example of the local AI community continually pushing the limits of consumer hardware. The pure quantization method shaves off crucial gigabytes compared to standard quants, enabling it to fit in 16GB VRAM without offloading. The MTP version achieves 40 tokens per second for generation, and the marginal perplexity increase makes it an excellent trade-off for VRAM savings.
