Qwen3.6-35B-A3B - Q4NX for FastFlowLM (AMD Ryzen AI XDNA2)

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, an MoE model, converted to Q4NX for FastFlowLM. This variant ships vision Q4NX weights alongside the text weights.

What is Q4NX?

Q4NX is FastFlowLM's native packed-quantization format - a rearranged Q4_1 layout tuned for the NPU matrix engine's tile sizes and memory access patterns. It is not a GGUF file and it does not run on llama.cpp or Ollama; it is meant exclusively for the FastFlowLM engine on AMD Ryzen AI NPUs.

Requirements

• FastFlowLM >= 0.9.45 (flm CLI)
• AMD Ryzen AI processor with XDNA2 (NPU2) - Strix Point / Ryzen AI 300 series or later
• Linux with the XRT NPU stack installed
• ~51 GB of unified system memory (Q4NX weights + activations + KV cache)

Install and run

This repository ships flm-add.py, a small installer that copies the model into the FastFlowLM user directory and registers the tag qwen3.6-a3b:35b. It never modifies the system FastFlowLM install.

# one-time environment (add these to ~/.bashrc)
export FLM_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/.config/flm/model_list.json"
export FLM_XCLBIN_PATH="$HOME/.config/flm"

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/Atomic-Germ/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NPU2
cd Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NPU2
python3 ./flm-add.py . --tag qwen3.6-a3b:35b
flm run qwen3.6-a3b:35b

Run python3 ./flm-add.py --help for all options. Without a clone, the same command works against the repo id directly:

python3 ./flm-add.py Atomic-Germ/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NPU2 --tag qwen3.6-a3b:35b

Kernels

FastFlowLM's NPU kernels (xclbins) are closed source and are not shipped in this repository. flm-add.py links the kernels of the official qwen3.6-moe:35b-a3b model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NPU2), because this model shares the same engine family (qwen3.6-moe) and architecture.
