# Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-v1 MLX bf16 (reference)

Full non-quantized MLX bfloat16 conversion of [Jackrong/Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-v1](https://huggingface.co/Jackrong/Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-v1). Reference build for this MLX ladder.

Converted directly from the original HF bf16 safetensors. The 3/4/6/8-bit siblings are independently quantized from the same source — not chained from this repo, not converted from GGUF.
