# Modifications to upstream Qwen material

This distribution contains files modified by JetBrains from Qwen models developed by Alibaba Cloud. This document records the modifications and identifies the affected model files; it accompanies the binary artifacts listed below.

## Base model merge

The base model is a 50/50 combination of Qwen3.6-27B and Qwen3.8-27B, created by linearly interpolating their checkpoint parameters. The configuration, tokenizer, processor, and chat template are retained from Qwen3.8-27B. Exact source revisions and merge settings are recorded in [merge-manifest.json](merge-manifest.json).

The interpolation uses float32 accumulation. Upstream sources:

- [Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B/tree/6a9e13bd6fc8f0983b9b99948120bc37f49c13e9), revision `6a9e13bd6fc8f0983b9b99948120bc37f49c13e9`, weight 0.5.
- [Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B/tree/1d4bf0f2ff6012fd82039f2fa52739d0dd7c60c0), revision `1d4bf0f2ff6012fd82039f2fa52739d0dd7c60c0`, weight 0.5.

## Distribution-specific changes

The merged checkpoint was converted to GGUF and quantized to IQ3_S, Q4_K_M, and Q5_K_M from one BF16 intermediate, without an importance matrix. Each main GGUF retains the native MTP head. The vision encoder and projector were converted to a separate BF16 GGUF. Published filenames were updated to the JetBrains blend name.

Exact conversion settings and runtime versions are recorded in [conversion-manifest.json](conversion-manifest.json). Historical source identifiers in the manifests are retained for reproducibility.

## Modified model artifacts

The following files contain the merged parameters and, where applicable, the format conversions described above. SHA-256 values identify the binaries to which this modification notice applies.
