Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder — APEX-MTP GGUF

APEX (Adaptive Precision for EXpert Models) quantizations of Jackrong/Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder, with the model's MTP (multi-token prediction) head bundled for in-the-box self-speculative decoding.

Brought to you by the LocalAI team | APEX Project | Technical Report

What's different from the plain APEX repo?

This model ships a real MTP head, and these GGUFs bundle it alongside the trunk in a single file (via llama.cpp PR #22673). With a recent llama.cpp you can enable self-speculative decoding from just this one file — no separate draft model:

llama-server -m Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder-APEX-MTP-I-Balanced.gguf --draft-mtp

The non-MTP version is at mudler/Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder-APEX-GGUF — slightly smaller, no self-spec.

MTP draft head precision

The bundled MTP head (blk.40. including nextn.) is quantized to Q8_0 (near-lossless) on every tier, keeping draft accuracy high for a good spec-decode acceptance rate at a modest size cost. The MTP head is not imatrix-calibrated (imatrix forward passes only activate the trunk), so it uses static Q8_0.
