Thank you!

I was excessively using this for a long time and just wanted to thank you for this great model.
I had a lot of issues with Qwen 27B and 35B A3B quantized models. I tried almost every version of them like Ornith, ThinkingCap, Qwopus etc. They were either not doing exactly what I want, getting stuck, or stopping in the middle of the run.
This model is way better, not just 1-2% better like it's seen on benchmarks. I never had a problem on stopping prematurely or doing something else that I didn't ask. It sometimes gets stuck and loops infinitely but compared to other counterparts, it is way less. That looping usually happens when I run ralph loop that works minimum 8 hours, so for that case I think it is normal especially since I am using the quantized version.
Thank you so much again, this model is so underrated.

You're welcome! I only saw the looping behaviour when I used SGLang for serving -- apparently the looping behaviour for the Qwen models is a thing, there's a couple of issues opened on SGLang for this as well.

I'm glad you're enjoying the model! I have the 35B-A3B set to public as well, I have not announced it yet. For the GGUF version, I will release it with a custom runtime (fork of llama.cpp with custom kernels) that can do 1600 tok/sec prefill and 112 tok/sec decode -- But that's only for Macs. What computer are you using?

Can't wait for the custom runtime with the 35B-A3B, the 1600 tok/sec prefill and 112 tok/sec decode - was this on an M1 Max 64GB by any chance? That's the machine I'm running. Haven't seen even MLX reach those numbers if it is the m1 max

I have RTX 4090, I overclocked the memory and GPU to make it a little faster. I already have 2500 tps prefill and 110 tps decode on 27B model with MTP. As I understood 35B A3B model will fly then ๐Ÿ˜€ Looping behavior only occurs when it tries to do something and gets error (Like web-fetch or grep). Most of the time it tries something else but sometimes it tries the same thing again and again. I guess repetition penalty would fix it, but didn't try it yet.

It's on my M4 Max 128GB, but your 64GB is plenty. The numbers above are for the 8-bit quant, with the MTP head spliced in the GGUF.
