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**: NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B (NemotronH)\n- **Layers**: 88\n- **Type**: Hybrid Mamba-2 / LatentMoE / Attention + Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)\n- **Experts**: 512 routed + 1 shared (22 active per token)\n- **Total Parameters**: 120B\n- **Active Parameters**: ~12B per token\n- **APEX Config**: 5+5 symmetric edge gradient across 88 layers\n\n## Run with LocalAI\n\n```bash\nlocal-ai run mudler/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-APEX-GGUF@Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-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",
