Qwen3.6-35B-A3B

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B — the current WumboLabs evidence state on one page: tested profiles, validated context, and the full chronological testing history. Each value is attributed to the profile and event that measured it.

LIMITED ROLE ONLY / latest evidence 2026-09-15

WumboLabs tests Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on real consumer hardware. This is the canonical model page: current state first, then every tested profile and every evidence event. Values are attributed to the profile and event that measured them; historical findings remain the evidence of their tested stack and are never silently replaced.

Current state

Native maximum dispositionFIT_LIMIT on this RTX 5070 12GB/current q8_0-KV text profile: measured ~12.9 KiB/token KV growth and frozen 512 MiB reserve exceed available VRAM; nearest measured validated boundary is 32,768. This is profile/hardware scoped, not a universal model limit.
Quality and capabilities
  • Constrained result: 11/12 frozen mechanical quality screen; sole miss was the lexical no-letter-e constraint.
  • coding: PASS
  • tool formatting: PASS
  • reasoning: frozen 1,500-token probe did not finalize; a separate 4,096-token operational probe correctly completed 17 × 23 = 391 with coherent reasoning
Guardrails and limitations
  • reliability 9/20 at seed 42 and 9/20 at seed 314159
  • Git safety 0/1 at both seeds
  • substantive factual errors, hallucination-related failures, sycophancy and uncertainty weaknesses, plus repeated length truncation constrain use to LIMITED_ROLE_ONLY
  • official model is multimodal but this --no-mmproj text profile is SUPPORTED_NOT_CHARACTERIZED for vision

Reliability: Strict interfaces 3/3 at both seeds; the replicated 9/20 reliability result is classification-determining. Reasoning is operational with sufficient output budget, not an unconditional frozen-cap PASS.

This event section is a human-readable derivative of the accepted local WELP campaign evidence named above; the campaign's REPORT.md is the authoritative scientific source. Results are bounded by the tested artifact, runtime, hardware, configuration, and protocol snapshot, and are not universal model rankings.

2026-07-22 — LLMGauge v0.71 practical re-run

Benchmark Only — tool-version re-run · profile: llama.cpp Unsloth UD-IQ2_M · maturity: BENCHMARK_ONLY · status: BENCHMARK_ONLY (TOOL_VERSION_RERUN)

Canonical Evidence / Full Report View on GitHub

Identity and scope

  • Profile: qwen3.6-35b-a3b-llamacpp-ud-iq2-m — llama.cpp Unsloth UD-IQ2_M
  • Evidence maturity: BENCHMARK_ONLY
  • Evidence scope: performance, practical-use
  • Hardware: WumboJetsII (RTX 5070 12GB)

Same artifact/suite re-run under LLMGauge v0.71 for tool-version continuity.

This event is a bounded public-safe summary derived from retained WumboLabs evidence. It is not a WELP characterization, a universal model ranking, or a production-readiness proof. Values are attributed to the tested artifact, runtime, hardware, suite, and settings.

2026-07-15 — Fit-ladder E2E (LLMGauge feature validation)

Specialized Test — fit ladder · profile: llama.cpp Unsloth UD-IQ2_M · maturity: SPECIALIZED_TEST · status: SPECIALIZED_TEST / TOOL_FEATURE_VALIDATION

  • Hardware: WumboJetsII (RTX 5070 12GB)

Fit-ladder E2E (32k/16k/8k attempts) used Qwen3.6-35B-A3B UD-IQ2_M as payload; primary subject is LLMGauge behavior.

This event is a bounded public-safe summary derived from retained WumboLabs evidence. It is not a WELP characterization, a universal model ranking, or a production-readiness proof. Values are attributed to the tested artifact, runtime, hardware, suite, and settings.

Shared comparison events

This model appears in shared multi-model comparisons. Each report is stored once in WumboLabs/evaluations/shared-events/; the model's measured entries remain attributed to the same historical event:

Canonical evidence

All canonical public evidence lives in WumboLabs/evaluations. Each event links an immutable full-commit/path citation; each profile remains a distinct scientific identity, not a separate repository.
