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.

| Model-card envelope complete | YES |
| Native maximum disposition | FIT_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.

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:
- 12B practical pool comparison v025 + Grug (2026-07-04) — UD-IQ2_M scored 233.9/300 (3.9 avg); tight 12GB fit (676 MiB minimum headroom). — Canonical Evidence / Full Report
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.
