[!IMPORTANT]
This VLM requires TWO files — a text backbone GGUF and the mmproj vision encoder GGUF.
Download one text backbone (e.g. Q4_K_M) and the mmproj file. Both must be in the same folder.
📦 Available Files
🔤 Text Backbone (quantized — pick ONE)
🖼️ Vision Encoder — mmproj (always required, always F16)
⚠️ You need BOTH files — one text backbone + the mmproj — to run this VLM.
⚡ Speed Benchmarks
Run python benchmark.py --model Qwen3.6-27B to generate results.
🚀 How to Use
LM Studio (Easiest — GUI)
- Search for
Dhptl/Qwen3.6-27B in LM Studio
- Download the Q4_K_M text file and the mmproj file
- Load the model — LM Studio automatically uses both files

🔍 VLM Architecture
This model uses a two-component architecture:
Why is mmproj always F16?
The vision encoder maps image pixels to token embeddings. Quantizing it causes
visible visual artifacts and degraded image understanding. It stays at F16 (half precision)
which is already very efficient at ~1-2GB for most models.
