Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (and FP8) has landed

I wanted to link here @whpthomas recipe as itโ€™s the one that gave me the BEST results overall.

I started very happy with DFlash spec decoding recipes but found them inconsistent across long(ish) sessions with context >128k in OpenCode/Claude Code.

Tried his and not only works flawlessly to me in my scenario, but also scales VERY nicely for parallel workflows. I normally have 2 or 3 coding agents running at the same time and with 2, I feel it basically the same as with a single one. Also, Iโ€™m seeing way better Average of Draft Acceptance tokens in real-world (also benchmarks) which translates in net-win output tokens.

Edit: Here are my results :

After the run, my monitor shows high Draft Acceptance and high real Avg Generation tokens (from vLLM output logs).

My 2 parallel benchmark scales ~2x from a single userโ€ฆ Impressive.
