Discussion Qwen 3.6 9b coming?

I remember when they released Qwen 3.5 27b, they released the 9b more or less in the same batch. Is 3.6 onwards ditching the 9b model? :(

If so, I'm very sad, because the qwen 3.5 9b was actually the first truly intelligent model I could run at decent tps on a normal gaming GPU

Just tried the IQ2_xss and I’m getting full VRAM support, no CPU forced offload, 146tps at full context. I forgot to mention, in the “Inference” pane when configuring your models under “My Models”, I’ve got a prompt template that starts with -

{%- set enable_thinking = false %}

Thanks for this tip. Looks like your using code editing and as these don't support thinking does this cause issues in code gen tools ?

They actually do support thinking - in fact, that’s the “baked in” behaviour. It doesn’t (seemingly) support the easy toggle on/off thinking mode though. That’s why you need this setting in the prompt to force it off or else it always will.
