Qwen3.6-27B — Claude Opus Reasoning Distilled · GGUF

GGUF quantized versions of rico03/Qwen3.6-27B-Claude-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled for use with llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, and any GGUF-compatible runtime.

🙏 This model was trained following the methodology by Jackrong, adapted for Qwen3.6-27B.

🎯 What Is This?

Qwen3.6-27B fine-tuned on ~14k Claude 4.6 Opus reasoning traces. The model adopts a structured, efficient thinking style — concise on simple tasks, deep on hard ones — while fully preserving the base model's exceptional coding and math capabilities.

Key improvement over base Qwen3.6-27B: reduced verbose reasoning loops, replaced with Claude-style structured step-by-step decomposition.

📦 Available Quantizations

Choose based on your available VRAM/RAM:

File	Size	Min VRAM	Quality	Recommended For
Q2_K	~10GB	12GB	⭐⭐	Very limited hardware
Q3_K_M	~13GB	16GB	⭐⭐⭐	Budget setups
Q4_K_S	~16GB	20GB	⭐⭐⭐⭐	Good balance
Q4_K_M	16.5GB	20GB	⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✅ Best choice	Most users
Q5_K_S	~19GB	24GB	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	High quality
Q5_K_M	~20GB	24GB	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	High quality
Q6_K	~23GB	28GB	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Near-lossless
Q8_0	28.6GB	36GB	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Maximum quality

Q4_K_M is recommended for most users — best quality-to-size ratio, runs on a 24GB GPU with headroom.
