# Qwen3.6-27B Architect Polaris2 Fable B F451 - MTP MoQ GGUF

Tensor-aware mixed-precision GGUF quantizations of [nightmedia/Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-Polaris2-Fable-B-F451](https://huggingface.co/nightmedia/Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-Polaris2-Fable-B-F451), including the model's MTP tensors.

This repository provides several MoQ size/quality points, an experimental NVFP4 variant, the c128 importance matrix used during quantization, and the complete interactive evaluation report.

## Quantization method

MoQ uses tensor-aware mixed quantization instead of assigning one quantization type to the entire model.

- Weight tensors are grouped by their structural role and sensitivity.
- Per-group KLD sensitivity studies are used to decide which groups require higher precision.
- Less sensitive groups use more compact formats, while sensitive groups are protected with higher-precision formats.
- A 128-chunk importance matrix is incorporated into the quantization process.
- The large MTP tensors are explicitly retained at high precision.
- Every output was audited against its tensor recipe: all 866 tensor names, shapes, and quantization types matched.

The `MTP-MoQ-NVFP4` variant uses NVFP4 for selected tensor groups while retaining the rest of the mixed-precision policy. On an RTX 5090 it improves short-prompt prefill throughput substantially, although the regular MoQ-4.8 model provides better KLD quality at the same file size.

No single quant is best for every use case:

- `MTP-MoQ-4.6` is a compact balanced option.
- `MTP-MoQ-4.8` is the recommended quality/size point around 16.15 GB.
- `MTP-MoQ-5.1` provides the best quality in the regular MoQ series.
- `MTP-MoQ-NVFP4` is intended for testing NVFP4 acceleration, especially on Blackwell GPUs.

## Files

Sizes are decimal GB. Payload BPW is calculated from the actual GGUF tensor payload and excludes the GGUF header.

## Quality evaluation

All quality results were measured under the same conditions:

- WikiText-2 raw test set
- Context length 512
- 580 evaluation chunks
- KLD calculated against logits from the BF16 model
- BF16 reference PPL: `6.320035`

Lower PPL, Mean KLD, and p999 KLD are better.
