## Updates
- 05-18-26:
  - ~~I have re-uploaded all quants with MTP tensors (@ Q8_0) now included.~~
  - ~~Edit: I forgot to do `--fuse-gate-up-exp` so the quants are missing imatrix for some weights. Redoing and re-uploading. Will update when complete.~~
  - Fixed, quants are now properly fused + imatrixed + have MTP!

## Description
This repo contains specialized MoE-quants for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B. The idea being that given the huge size of the FFN tensors compared to the rest of the tensors in the model, 
it should be possible to achieve a better quality while keeping the overall size of the entire model smaller compared to a similar naive quantization. 
To that end, the quantization type default is kept in high quality and the FFN UP + FFN GATE tensors are quanted down along with the FFN DOWN tensors.
