A Reddit user says a DavidAU collaboration appears to have improved Qwen 3.6 27B, and claims the model performs better than the stock version in long-context agent tasks. - The author noticed the Hugging Face release includes benchmarks, some with sizable gains and no regressions. - They say the model seems to have more efficient, more structured reasoning than the stock version. - In their Hermes agent setup, they ran a work-scheduling task 10 times with full context cleared each time. - The stock Unsloth model failed 2/10 runs; this model reportedly failed 0/10 and had no failed tool calls, even with quantized KV. - They conclude it feels meaningfully better for agentic long-context use and worth trying at unquantized KV and Q8 weights.
