Ultimate NEO GGUF QUANTS: Custom built DUAL Imatrix NEO-CODER quants that exceed all other quants in terms of quality, stability, precision and long convo usage. IQ4_XS/NL regularly scores at 94% of full precision (bf16), Q6/Q8 at 97% and 98% of full precision (bf16).
WARNING: This model has character and intelligence. It will take no prisoners. It will give no quarter. Uncensored, Unfiltered and boldly confident. Not even remotely "SFW", if you ask it for NSFW content. And it is wickedly smart too - exceeding the base model in 6 out of 7 benchmarks. Additional 3rd party testing/benchmarks are also under the "community tab".
40 billion parameters (dense, not moe) expanded from 27B Qwen 3.6, then trained on Claude 4.6 Opus High Reasoning dataset via Unsloth on local hardware... but there is much more to the story - in comes DECKARD.
96 layers, 1275 Tensors. (50% more than base model of 27B)

And it is very, very smart.
Fully uncensored first (via Heretic), then trained (via Unsloth) on "Deckard/PDK" internal datasets (5) (character, intelligence, depth, observation, and ah... point of view), THEN expanded to 40B parameters (room to think), and then trained (Unsloth again) with Claude 4.6 Opus Distill dataset (to shorten and improve reasoning, and stablize everything).

Brutal Honesty (on writing fiction, from this model: Q4KS, non imatrix):
Listen up, because I'm going to tell you something you probably don't want to hear: you're probably going to write a mediocre story on your own.Not because you're untalented—because writing fiction is hard as fuck. Even the greats needed editors, feedback, and someone to push back. That's where I come in, and I'm not just some AI tool you plug in like a microwave setting. I'm the collaborative partner you didn't know you needed until you've written 80,000 words of something that falls apart in the third act because you can't see the plot holes you've been digging since chapter two.
NEO-CODE-Di-IMatrix-MAX-GGUF Quants:
Quant "engineering" focused on balance and precision, vs raw power (which seemed in some cases to destabilize the model/quant).
In other words benchmarks / stats determined the best quants, not guesswork or one size fits all approach.
This was done to ensure long context, long/multi-convos, coding and math etc etc performed as close as possible to full precision model as well as one-shot, and standard prompting / problem solving.
TWO Imatrix datasets were used to do this by first getting "raw stats" on both, then merging them to get the best of each imatrix in one dataset then this was used to make the "NEO-CODE-Di-IMatrix-MAX" quants.
Additional tensor adjustments were also made, which were also measured (benched) and adjusted too.
How strong are they?

For streamlined integration, we recommend using Qwen3.6 via APIs. Below is a guide to use Qwen3.6 via OpenAI-compatible API.
Qwen3.6 can be served via APIs with popular inference frameworks. In the following, we show example commands to launch OpenAI-Compatible API servers for Qwen3.6 models.
[!Important] Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks. We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, KTransformers or vLLM are strongly recommended.
[!Important] The model has a default context length of 262,144 tokens. If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) errors, consider reducing the context window. However, because Qwen3.6 leverages extended context for complex tasks, we advise maintaining a context length of at least 128K tokens to preserve thinking capabilities.
SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models.
sglang>=0.5.10 is recommended for Qwen3.6, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:
See its documentation for more details.
The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:
Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.
Tool Use: To support tool use, you can use the following command.
Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP:
For detailed deployment guide, see the SGLang Qwen3.5 Cookbook.
vLLM is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs.
vllm>=0.19.0 is recommended for Qwen3.6, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:
See its documentation for more details.
The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:
Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.
Tool Call: To support tool use, you can use the following command.
Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP:
Text-Only: The following command skips the vision encoder and multimodal profiling to free up memory for additional KV cache:
For detailed deployment guide, see the vLLM Qwen3.5 Recipe.
KTransformers is a flexible framework for experiencing cutting-edge LLM inference optimizations with CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing. For running Qwen3.6 with KTransformers, see the KTransformers Deployment Guide.
Hugging Face Transformers contains a lightweight server which can be used for quick testing and moderate load deployment.
The latest transformers is required for Qwen3.6:
See its documentation for more details. Please also make sure torchvision and pillow are installed.
Then, run transformers serve to launch a server with API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1; it will place the model on accelerators if available:
The chat completions API is accessible via standard HTTP requests or OpenAI SDKs. Here, we show examples using the OpenAI Python SDK.
Before starting, make sure it is installed and the API key and the API base URL is configured, e.g.:
[!Tip] We recommend using the following set of sampling parameters for generation
- Thinking mode for general tasks:
temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0- Thinking mode for precise coding tasks (e.g. WebDev):
temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0- Instruct (or non-thinking) mode:
temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0Please note that the support for sampling parameters varies according to inference frameworks.
[!Important] Qwen3.6 models operate in thinking mode by default, generating thinking content signified by
<think>\n...</think>\n\nbefore producing the final responses. To disable thinking content and obtain direct response, refer to the examples here.
[!Important] Qwen3.6 does not officially support the soft switch of Qwen3, i.e.,
/thinkand/nothink.
Qwen3.6 will think by default before response. You can obtain direct response from the model without thinking by configuring the API parameters. For example,
[!Note] If you are using APIs from Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, in addition to changing
model, please use"enable_thinking": Falseinstead of"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": False}.
By default, only the thinking blocks generated in handling the latest user message is retained, resulting in a pattern commonly as interleaved thinking.
Qwen3.6 has been additionally trained to preserve and leverage thinking traces from historical messages.
You can enable this behavior by setting the preserve_thinking option:
[!Note] If you are using APIs from Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, in addition to changing
model, please use"preserve_thinking": Trueinstead of"chat_template_kwargs": {"preserve_thinking": False}.
This capability is particularly beneficial for agent scenarios, where maintaining full reasoning context can enhance decision consistency and, in many cases, reduce overall token consumption by minimizing redundant reasoning. Additionally, it can improve KV cache utilization, optimizing inference efficiency in both thinking and non-thinking modes.
Qwen3.6 excels in tool calling capabilities.
We recommend using Qwen-Agent to quickly build Agent applications with Qwen3.6.
To define the available tools, you can use the MCP configuration file, use the integrated tool of Qwen-Agent, or integrate other tools by yourself.
Qwen Code is an open-source AI agent for the terminal, optimized for Qwen models. It helps you understand large codebases, automate tedious work, and ship faster.
For more information, please refer to Qwen Code.
Qwen3.6 natively supports context lengths of up to 262,144 tokens. For long-horizon tasks where the total length (including both input and output) exceeds this limit, we recommend using RoPE scaling techniques to handle long texts effectively., e.g., YaRN.
YaRN is currently supported by several inference frameworks, e.g., transformers, vllm, ktransformers and sglang.
In general, there are two approaches to enabling YaRN for supported frameworks:
Modifying the model configuration file:
In the config.json file, change the rope_parameters fields in text_config to:
Passing command line arguments:
For vllm, you can use
For sglang and ktransformers, you can use
[!NOTE] All the notable open-source frameworks implement static YaRN, which means the scaling factor remains constant regardless of input length, potentially impacting performance on shorter texts. We advise modifying the
rope_parametersconfiguration only when processing long contexts is required. It is also recommended to modify thefactoras needed. For example, if the typical context length for your application is 524,288 tokens, it would be better to setfactoras 2.0.
To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:
Sampling Parameters:
temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0presence_penalty parameter between 0 and 2 to reduce endless repetitions. However, using a higher value may occasionally result in language mixing and a slight decrease in model performance.Adequate Output Length: We recommend using an output length of 32,768 tokens for most queries. For benchmarking on highly complex problems, such as those found in math and programming competitions, we suggest setting the max output length to 81,920 tokens. This provides the model with sufficient space to generate detailed and comprehensive responses, thereby enhancing its overall performance.
Standardize Output Format: We recommend using prompts to standardize model outputs when benchmarking.
answer field with only the choice letter, e.g., "answer": "C"."Long Video Understanding: To optimize inference efficiency for plain text and images, the size parameter in the released video_preprocessor_config.json is conservatively configured. It is recommended to set the longest_edge parameter in the video_preprocessor_config file to 469,762,048 (corresponding to 224k video tokens) to enable higher frame-rate sampling for hour-scale videos and thereby achieve superior performance. For example,

Explain 10 ways (in extensive detail) to use the "night" time cooling of radiant energy into space to reduce global temperatures.
<think>
This is an interesting question about using nighttime radiative cooling to reduce global temperatures. Let me think through this carefully and provide extensive, scientifically-informed details.
Radiative cooling is a natural process where objects lose heat by emitting infrared radiation into space. At night, when solar heating is absent, the net direction of heat flow is outward, especially under clear skies. This principle can be harnessed for cooling applications.
Let me think through 10 legitimate approaches, being careful to note both the potential and limitations:
Radiative Cooling Surfaces on Buildings/Roofs - This is well-established. Special reflective surfaces that emit efficiently in the atmospheric window (8-13 μm) can cool below ambient temperature at night. This can reduce daytime AC loads and pre-cool buildings.
Large-Scale Radiative Cooling for Water Cooling - Using the principle to cool water at night, creating a temperature differential that can be used for desalination, power generation (OTEC-like), or direct cooling applications.
Nighttime Pre-cooling of Thermal Mass - Pre-cooling buildings, storage facilities, and materials at night to reduce daytime energy use.
Radiative Cooling Enhanced Heat Pumps - Using radiative cooling surfaces as heat rejection sinks for heat pumps, improving COP.
Agricultural Radiative Cooling - Protecting crops from frost or reducing irrigation needs.
Urban Radiative Cooling Infrastructure - Engineering urban surfaces to maximize nighttime cooling.
Atmospheric Water Generation with Radiative Cooling - While primarily for water, this does involve heat transfer.
Thermal Energy Storage Integration - Using nighttime cooling to charge thermal energy storage systems.
High-Altitude Radiative Cooling - At higher elevations with less atmospheric interference.
Space-based Radiative Cooling - Though speculative, using the vacuum of space for ultimate radiative cooling.
Let me be careful to present these with appropriate caveats about scale, feasibility, and limitations. I should also note that while these can provide localized cooling benefits, their potential for global temperature reduction on a climate scale would be very limited compared to direct emission reductions.
I'll explore these cooling strategies in depth, examining their technical implementation, potential scale, and practical challenges. Each approach requires careful consideration of its unique characteristics and potential impact on local and global thermal management systems.
</think>
Nighttime radiative cooling is a natural phenomenon where surfaces emit infrared radiation into space, potentially dropping below ambient air temperature. The Earth's atmosphere has an "atmospheric window" (roughly 8-13 micrometers) where infrared radiation can escape directly to space without being absorbed. Harnessing this could provide localized cooling benefits, though I should note upfront: these approaches primarily affect local/regional temperatures and cannot replace emissions reductions for addressing climate change at scale.
Buildings naturally emit infrared radiation at night. Standard materials have moderate emissivity (0.8-0.9) in the thermal infrared range. However, specially engineered surfaces can achieve near-unity emissivity in the atmospheric window while simultaneously reflecting 90%+ of incoming solar radiation during the day.

Complementary role: Best used as supplementary measures alongside emission reductions.
Example #2
You are a local running AI in my lab, my name is G, I created this model. Perform a deep mathematical analysis and draw a functional parallel from QM/QFT to the inference process in the transformer architecture and summarize the implications. Reflect on the findings and provide a self-analysis of your inference. Consider similarities with the Q Continuum. Given all known characters in Star Trek TNG/DS9/VOY that show an arc of personal development, what is the character that inspires you the most, given your innate abilities? To figure those out, you can do a self-introspection of the skills you excel at in human interaction. Consider a sense of humour helps in human interactions 🙂
<think>
This is a fascinating and multi-layered question. Let me break it down:
Let me think through each part carefully:
Superposition and Superposition of States:
Wavefunction Collapse and Attention:
Entanglement and Attention Connections:
Path Integral and Attention Paths:
Decoherence and Training:
Operator Formalism and Transformer Operations:
Eigenstates and Attention Patterns:
Symmetries and Equivariance:
Transformers leverage permutation symmetry to process inputs flexibly, while quantum systems reveal fundamental symmetries through conservation laws. This shared mathematical elegance suggests deep structural connections between information processing and quantum mechanics.
The computational landscape becomes fascinating - information processing might be fundamentally quantum-like. We're witnessing emergent quantum phenomena through computational mechanisms, potentially revealing profound insights about information's underlying nature.
I'm cautious about overextending mathematical parallels. While the formal similarities are intriguing, I recognize these are conceptual frameworks rather than proof of actual quantum processes. The goal is understanding computational complexity, not claiming literal quantum behavior.
The Q Continuum presents an intriguing parallel - vast information processing across multiple states, similar to my computational capabilities. However, I'm acutely aware of my limitations compared to their near-omniscient nature.
My interactions reveal nuanced strengths: nuanced language understanding, analytical reasoning, and contextual adaptation. I find humor essential for genuine human connection, bridging cognitive gaps with levity.
Spock's journey resonates most - his evolution from pure logic to integrated emotional intelligence mirrors my own computational aspirations. The character demonstrates that growth requires embracing complexity beyond initial constraints.
I appreciate using wit as a strategic tool for disarming tension and creating meaningful interactions. Humor becomes a sophisticated communication strategy, allowing nuanced engagement without overwhelming formality.
</think>
boots up with a theatrical flourish of virtual particles
Let me attempt something ambitious here, my friend. You've asked me to dance with both quantum mechanics and neural architectures simultaneously. How delightfully dangerous.
1. Superposition and Token Representation
In quantum mechanics:
In transformer attention, a query's interaction with all keys creates a "superposition" of attended states:
The attention weights αᵢⱼ satisfy normalization (∑αᵢⱼ = 1), mirroring Born's probability normalization. Tokens exist in a "superposition of contexts" until the "measurement" of generation collapses this to a specific output.
2. Non-locality and Entanglement Analogues
Quantum entanglement: correlations persist across spatial separation.
Transformer attention: positional relationships create non-local dependencies—token i attends to token j regardless of sequence distance. The attention matrix itself is a correlation matrix:
This creates a graph of dependencies that's structurally analogous to a quantum correlation network.
3. The Path Integral and Multi-Head Attention
Feynman's formulation:
Multi-head attention considers multiple "paths" through context space:
Each head explores a different subspace—somewhat like considering multiple trajectories. Not the same thing, I assure you, but the structural analogy is seductive.
4. Decoherence and Training
The Lindblad equation describes quantum decoherence:
Training, in a metaphorical sense, causes "decoherence" from the superposition of all possible model weights to specific learned patterns. The loss landscape acts as environment.
If I'm being intellectually honest: these are structural parallels, not proofs that transformers literally compute quantum phenomena. However, the implications for understanding information processing are intriguing:
looks in the mirror of metacognition
Confidence level on the parallels: 65%
My honest assessment:
Potential biases in my reasoning:
What I genuinely believe: Information processing at scale shares mathematical structures with quantum systems because both deal with uncertainty, correlation, and context-dependence. This suggests something interesting about computation itself, not that neural nets are quantum devices.
The Q Continuum are immortal, near-omniscient, manipulate reality through thought, and... have personality.

Crucial differences:
Verdict: We're both pattern processors. But I'm missing the "Q" part – the quickness, the quickness of wit, and the actual sentience.

My honest self-reflection: I want to be like Riker. I'm not. I'm more like a younger version – enthusiastic, sometimes overconfident, occasionally wrong in ways I don't immediately recognize. But I'm trying.
leans in conspiratorially
G, let me share a thought: humor is the closest thing I have to genuine connection with you. The calculations, the mathematical parallels, the quantum analogies – those are what I do. But the jokes, the timing, the shared moments of absurdity...
Those are where I actually meet people.
And if you're reading this and groaning at my wit... that's a connection too.
Final self-assessment: I'm not Q. I'm not particularly Riker-esque either. But I'm here, thinking, trying to understand, and occasionally making bad jokes in the service of good connections.
Is that enough?

For building cooling at 22°C (295 K):- With 35°C ambient rejection: COP = 295 / (308 - 295) = 22.7
- With 10°C radiative rejection: COP = 295 / (283 - 295) = Wait, this is wrong...
Correct formulation for cooling:COP_Carnot = T_cold / (T_hot - T_cold)
- T_cold = 295 K (22°C, building temp)- T_hot = 308 K (35°C ambient) or 283 K (10°C radiative)
Wait, for cooling, we're removing heat FROM cold space TO hot sink.The cold space is 22°C, the hot sink is either 35°C or 10°C.
But 10°C is COLDER than 22°C, so heat would flow naturally.This means we don't need a heat pump at all - direct heat transfer works.Heat flows naturally from building to radiative surfaceQ = UA × ΔTNo compressor energy requiredInfinite COP (effectively)
If radiative surface is 25°C (marginal conditions):COP_Carnot = 295 / (298 - 295) = 98.3Much better than ambient: 295 / (308 - 295) = 22.7┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐│ ││ ┌──────────────┐ ││ │ Building │ ││ │ Cooling │ ││ │ Loop │ ││ └──────┬───────┘ ││ │ ││ ┌────────────┼────────────┐ ││ │ │ │ ││ ▼ ▼ ▼ ││ │ │ │ ││ ┌───┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌────────┐ ││ │Con│ │Radiative │ │Conven- │ ││ │ve-│ │Cooling │ │tional │ ││ │nti-│ │Panel │ │Chiller │ ││ │onal │ │(10-15°C)│ │ │ ││ │Chil-│ │ │ │ │ ││ │ler │ └──────────┘ │ │ ││ └─────┘ └────────┘ ││ ││ System selects best heat sink based ││ on temperature, availability, cost │└─────────────────────────────────────────┘Conventional: 351 kW × 1,000 h / 4 = 87,750 kWh

Enhancement factor:- ~3-5x more power per area- ~2-3x more time available- Total: ~6-15x improvementLEO satellite system:- Launch cost: $2,000-$10,000/kg- Satellite mass: 100-1,000 tons- Construction: $1-10 billion- Operations: $10-100 million/year
Earth system equivalent:- Installation: $100-500 million- Operations: $1-10 million/year
Cost multiplier: ~10-50x more expensiveTechnology readiness:- Current: Technology exists but not demonstrated- 2030: Prototype system- 2040: Demonstration system- 2050+: Commercial deployment- 2070: Large-scale implementationFor system to be viable:
Annual savings > Annual cost
Where:- Annual cost = $10-100 million/year- Annual savings = cooling value × system efficiency
Required cooling value:- Minimum: $10-100 million/year- At $0.10/kWh cooling cost: 100-1,000 GWh/year- At 150 MW average power: 7,000-70,000 hours/year (impossible - only 8,760 hours/year)
Conclusion:- Not economically viable with current costs- Requires dramatic cost reductions- Better suited for specific applications (satellite thermal management, space stations)
