I’ve only been testing Qwen3.6-27b in my tasks for the last week. DFlash is noticeably faster for it.
If you have a long-term task that could be checked, it would be interesting
thanks! that’s quite good for a full FP8!
Can you also run a full tool-eval-bench --hard --base-url xxx ?
My 122B-Hybrid scores very nicely here, but I wonder if there is a real benefit that can be shown in a benchmark. This might be my self-excuse to go for a 2nd DGX ;-)
Yeah, Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-FP8, tp=2

Nice tool. Thank you.
That’s good, but it doesn’t run away from @Albond’s Hybrid one actually. I got consistent 89/100 with similar responsiveness and deployability scores as well (38/100 and 74/100 respectively in my bench).
27B-FP8 is too slow for my use-case in a single spark, and 35b-A3b-FP8 scores better than 122b-hybrid for me (91/100, 58/100 and 81/100) while being faster (2x 122b-hybrid).
Thanks for these numbers!!!
that would be a really big achievement
I see vllm 0.20.0 is now available via eugr’s prebuilt release. Any brave souls have tested whether there are any benefits migrating from vllm 0.19?
I tested it and i got errors in tool-eval-bench on Qwen 3.6 27B, instead i went back to vLLM 19.2 and there I get no errors. (Using Dflash and the vLLM PR that adds sliding window attention)
is it possible to make this exercise with other models? can this tool be generic?
Today I needed more horsepower in terms of knowledge, as I’ve said multiple times here, I go back and forth between 3.6-35B and 3.5-122B (this Hybrid model). 3.6 can give me up to 95tok/sec and it’s “close” in quality to 122B, but the latter is better for my use case.
So today, I had the time (my wife went on a trip and all of a sudden I have free time around the house!) and re-tested a few things in terms of quality, speed and actual acceptance rate. I’m purely using Claude Code for this test as its 75% of my use case.
Qwen3.5-122b-A10B-hybrid MTP=2
Peak tok/s = 53.1
Avg tok/s = 37.7
Acceptance Rate = 93%
Qwen3.5-122b-A10B-hybrid MTP=3
Peak tok/s = 59.1
Avg tok/s = 39.7
Acceptance Rate = 88.7%
Qwen3.5-122b-A10B-hybrid MTP=4
Peak tok/s = 54.7
Avg tok/s = 35.8
Acceptance Rate = 77.9%
Qwen3.5-122b-A10B-hybrid MTP=5
Peak tok/s = 43.3
Avg tok/s = 26.2
Acceptance Rate = 81.7%
Now my Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8 actually gave me a WORSE result averaging ~19t/k and peaking at 39t/s in the same workflow (With DFlash=5 with 70+% acceptance rate). I like how 3.6 solves a few things better than 3.5 so I will continue mixing but… I got reminded again @whpthomas post. Quality = Speed :)
Finally, here’s my recipe if someone fancies trying it, nothing crazy, mostly whptomas’ work:

Is there patched model on HF? I could not find one
Really makes u wish that Qwen team released a 3.6 122b a10b
Anyone tried latest vLLM 0.20 with this mod? Any performance changes?
I can’t wait for that. 3.5-35B-A3B is very close in terms of quality to 3.5-122b-A10B (in my workflow).
I’m hoping for 3.6-122B that can be quantized in a hybrid way just like this one tog get the perfect FP8/INT4 balance and runs on a single GB10.
I tried many vLLM versions and combination including the latest b12x patches. But none of them moved the needle in a significant way. I did not try all of them integrated as that only gets very painful very fast :D but I dont think the update path brings significant performance increases at the moment for this specific model combination.
It is highly likely that we won’t see a 122B model (or larger) in the open-source 3.6 lineup.
My reasoning is based on two points:
-
After the 27B release, it was explicitly stated that the full lineup is now available.
-
Qwen recently released models ( Qwen-Scope - a Qwen Collection ) specifically for researching the behavior of Qwen 3 and 3.x, and even in the 3.5 series, the maximum size was capped at 35B.
Looking at these indirect signs, it seems Qwen is following Google’s strategy: only releasing smaller “open” models (like Qwen 3.6 35B or Gemma 4 31B), while keeping the larger ones proprietary.
Guess I will keep running current docker built of 0.19.2 for a while now until something significantly better comes around
That kinda sucks. Was hoping the MiniMax 2.7 and etc could have pushed Qwen team to at least stay in the ~100B business
I compare my vLLM 0.19.1 build with 0.20.1 and see too much degradation:
| Test | 0.19.1-stable | 0.20.1 | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q&A 256 | 50.3 | 46.1 | −8.3% |
| Code 512 | 52.0 | 47.0 | −9.6% |
| JSON 1024 | 51.0 | 45.7 | −10.4% |
| Math 64 | 46.5 | 42.9 | −7.7% |
| LongCode 2048 | 54.2 | 48.5 | −10.5% |
| Среднее | — | — | ≈ −9% |
Thanks for testing this and wow thats a considerable performance regression. Did not expect that.
