Qwen3.6 35B-A3B on a Laptop: My Zero to One Moment

A Reddit user ran Qwen3.6 35B-A3B on an ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 with RTX 4060 8GB VRAM and 64GB RAM, reaching about 27 TPS at 32k context and 18 TPS at 256k context. The setup uses llama.cpp, unsloth’s IQ3_XXS GGUF quantization, and a 262144-token context flag.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass, but this is a single Reddit experiment, not an official release or paper. Concrete hardware, quantization, context, and TPS clear the featured bar, but keep it in the 72–77 band.
