LCB note: LCB is the standard abbreviation for LiveCodeBench. It selects competitive-programming problems published after the evaluated model's training-data cutoff and grades executable solutions with test cases to reduce training-data contamination. LCB100 on this card is the fixed 100-problem coding evaluation used for all compared tiers.
Why the featured 16GB LynnStyle tier is not uniform Q3
The released architecture remains 40 MoE blocks × 256 routed experts per block, with top-8 experts activated per token. The 16GB tier is a mixed-precision GGUF, not a uniform 3-bit conversion: it keeps the 256-expert architecture and reserves error budget for routing, convergence, and long-chain state paths.
Benchmark-REAP routing evidence was collected by forward-only observation on 128 MMLU, 64 GPQA, and 64 LCB prompts. It records router workloads only and does not use answer labels, canonical code, or execution outcomes to choose protected layers. A separate 24-chunk, 900-entry imatrix constrains tensor error inside the explicit protection schedule.

The three task families expose different hot blocks. Q3 v2 raises L8/L19/L21/L28 to Q3_K and L20/L25 to Q4_K to prioritize long-chain GPQA reasoning. These plots are routing evidence, not benchmark scores.

Further constrain tensor error inside the explicit protection policy
For Q3 v2: embeddings/output and full-attention q/k/v/o use Q5_K; router inputs, norms, biases, and small controls remain F32; 40 shared-expert gates remain BF16; shared-expert and SSM paths use Q5_K/Q4_K. Routed experts use Q5_K on L2–L3, Q4_K on L0–L1/L20/L25/L39, Q3_K on L8/L19/L21/L28, IQ3_XXS on eight shoulder layers, and IQ2_S on the remaining 21 layers. The actual 673-tensor distribution is F32 261, BF16 40, Q5_K 69, Q4_K 204, Q3_K 12, IQ3_XXS 24, and IQ2_S 63.
This repository contains LynnStyle GGUF tiers for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-DSV4Pro-SFT-GPT56Sol-RL-Agent plus an optional official vision projector.
Highlights
Featured 16GB tier: Q3 LynnStyle v2, 14.28 GB (13.30 GiB).
Versus the former Q3, v2 keeps MMLU unchanged, improves GPQA by 1.01pp, and moves LCB from 61/100 to 59/100 while reducing length/empty/runtime anomalies.
This tier is reasoning-first. Avoid heavy code generation on Q3 v2; choose Q4 for coding.
An optional official Q8_0 vision projector is provided and was functionally validated with the exact Q4 file. No MTP sidecar is included. This card does not claim a strict Pareto improvement.

35B-A3B MoE general-purpose base
Results from the former runner are not mixed with the current clean runner, avoiding invalid comparisons
DSV4Pro + GPT-5.6 Sol SFT parent

Tool protocol, failure exit, and evidence-bound delivery
Q3/Q4 have the clean full-evaluation rows below; Q5/Q8 are additionally listed only after their own exact-file SHA, GGUF parse, and runtime gates passed
Full evaluation
Primary evaluation settings: open thinking, maximum output of 32768 tokens, and up to 1800 seconds per problem. MMLU500, GPQA198, and LCB100 are scored from final outcomes; parse, length, timeout, runtime, and empty failures are never silently converted into correct answers.

Complete Agent100 evaluation: Q4 and Q3 v2 each completed 100 real trajectories under the same C4, 32K-per-slot, 10-step, 8192-token-per-step, 900-second-timeout setup, followed by an independent gpt-5.6-sol (xhigh) final judge. Q4 scores 33/100 and Q3 v2 scores 32/100; false-verify counts are 12/20, protocol-error trajectory flags are 5/5, and judge errors are zero. A protocol-error flag describes the task trajectory; it is not a download, transport, or judge-service failure.
Q3 v2 is selected because MMLU stays flat and GPQA gains two correct answers over the former Q3. LCB loses two points, but average completion tokens fall 22.93%, length finishes improve from 16 to 10, empty code from 14 to 9, and runtime failures from 9 to 7. The remaining coding loss is the 13GB tradeoff, not a new generation-instability regression.

Quantization design
The REAP figures above document the task-family routing differences that inform the LynnStyle layer/path protection schedule. Direct quant, or imatrix alone without explicit core-path protection, is not a LynnStyle tier in this repository.
Download tiers
Availability: all four files below passed their own exact-file SHA, GGUF-parse, and runtime-generation gates. The clean full-evaluation table on this card remains limited to Q3/Q4; no Q5/Q8 benchmark score is inferred from an artifact gate.
Why the ModelScope sidebar mislabels the mixed quants
The GGUF panel in the right sidebar is generated by ModelScope's automatic scanner. It cannot fully represent a LynnStyle file that mixes Q5_K, Q4_K, Q3_K, IQ families, and preserved tensors by layer and tensor family. It may therefore label the mixed-quant Q3/Q4/Q5 files as unknown / IMATRIX; use the exact filename in the file list instead.
Open the repository's file list, download exactly one complete GGUF by the filename in the table above, and launch it with llama.cpp. Do not use the sidebar's unknown / IMATRIX entry to infer quantization type, file size, or VRAM requirements.
Actual context capacity depends on KV-cache format, backend, concurrency, and non-model VRAM use. This repository provides an optional official vision projector validated with the exact Q4 file, but no MTP sidecar.
This repository does not provide an MTP sidecar. Do not add --model-draft or treat the vision projector/any other GGUF as a draft model.
Q4 + official vision projector (tested)
This repository provides the optional official vision projector mmproj-Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Q8_0.gguf (614.19 MB, SHA256 904cbf8c8e876220066ab3bf676c7efa40f3da372276fdaf8b01d2fb2a37a51d). It is neither a main model nor an MTP sidecar; pass it to llama.cpp together with the main model. Compatibility was validated only with the exact Q4 file in this repository; Q3/Q5/Q8 vision paths are not marked as tested.
The command below is the CPU-only, single-concurrency command that actually passed. It proves joint loading and functional image input; it is not a GPU TPS or VRAM claim:
Validated with llama.cpp b9922 (commit 230ea9d21): joint model/projector load and health passed; OCR returned exact Z8K4; the shape test returned three red circles and one blue square; the text regression returned exact TEXT PATH OK.
Limitations
Vision compatibility was smoke-tested only for the exact Q4 + official Q8_0 projector. This is not a full vision benchmark, and Q3/Q5/Q8 vision paths are not marked as validated.
Q3 v2 prioritizes MMLU/GPQA and scores 59/100 on LCB. For long, code-heavy work, prefer Q4.
The model may still declare completion too early when evidence is insufficient. Preserve tool output and independently review high-risk tasks.
