A Reddit thread asks how people are actually using Qwen3.6 models locally, and one user reports practical settings on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 96 GB RAM.
- They use 35B with Hermes Agent and 27B for coding tasks with Pi Agent.
- Both run in 8-bit via LM Studio.
- They say the GGUF MTP build of 27B performs better than the MLX variants they tried.
- Their preferred context windows are 128k for 27B and 64k for 35B, with Hermes used for general personal-assistant work.
