For reference APEX benchmarks on the Qwen3.5-35B-A3B architecture, see [mudler/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-APEX-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mudler/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-APEX-GGUF).\n\n## What is APEX?\n\nAPEX is a quantization strategy for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. It classifies tensors by role (routed expert, shared expert, attention) and applies a layer-wise precision gradient -- edge layers get higher precision, middle layers get more aggressive compression. I-variants use diverse imatrix calibration (chat, code, reasoning, tool-calling, agentic traces, Wikipedia).\n\nSee the [APEX project](https://github.com/mudler/apex-quant) for full details, technical report, and scripts.\n\n## Architecture\n\n- **Model**: LFM2-24B-A2B (lfm2_moe) by LiquidAI\n- **Layers**: 40 (30 convolutional + 10 full attention, hybrid)\n- **Experts**: 64 routed (4 active per token) + 2 dense layers\n- **Total Parameters**: 24B\n- **Active Parameters**: ~2B per token\n- **APEX Config**: 5+5 symmetric edge gradient across 40 layers\n- **Calibration**: v1.3 diverse dataset (chat, code, reasoning, multilingual, tool-calling, Wikipedia)\n\n## Run with LocalAI\n\n```bash\nlocal-ai run mudler/LFM2-24B-A2B-APEX-GGUF@LFM2-24B-A2B-APEX-I-Balanced.gguf\n```\n\n## Credits\n\nAPEX is brought to you by the [LocalAI](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI) team. Developed through human-driven, AI-assisted research. Built on [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp).\n",
