Unsloth-Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 - GGUF
Quantized GGUF versions of unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 from 2026-07-10. These were generated using llama.cpp (b9859).
Unsloth-Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4-A.gguf: The NVFP4 group 1 layers are preserved. The FP8 group 0 linear-attention (attn_qkv, ssm_out) and tail-MLP (layers 56–63) are converted to NVFP4, while the remaining layers are kept at Q8. The MTP draft layer is preserved at BF16. This was generated fromNVFP4-Q8using a modifiedllama-quantizeto allow re-quantizing Q8-quantized layers to NVFP4.Unsloth-Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4-Q8.gguf: The NVFP4 group 1 layers are preserved, while the FP8 group 0 layers are converted to Q8. This was generated using a modifiedconvert_hf_to_gguf.pyto support Unsloth's differing groups.Unsloth-Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4-BF16.gguf: The NVFP4 group 1 layers are preserved, while the FP8 group 0 layers are upcast to BF16. This version is not published because it is redundant withNVFP4-Q8.

Perplexity test
I tested perplexity using llama-perplexity and Salesforce's wikitext-2-raw-v1.

<small>2: unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 does not provide a GGUF. I used llama.cpp's conversion which passes through Unsloth's NVFP4 tensors. This is Unsloth's previous version from 2026-05-31.</small>
