	# Qwen3.6-14B-A3B-FableVibes-mlx-q6

	MLX 6-bit quantization of [tvall43/Qwen3.6-14B-A3B-FableVibes](https://huggingface.co/tvall43/Qwen3.6-14B-A3B-FableVibes), for local inference on Apple Silicon.

	## Credit / original model

	This repo is only a quantized MLX conversion. All credit for the model itself goes to the original author, [tvall43](https://huggingface.co/tvall43). Please see and cite the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/tvall43/Qwen3.6-14B-A3B-FableVibes).

	The base is a REAP-pruned [Qwen3.6-35B-A3B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B) reduced to ~14B total / ~3B active (90 experts, 8 active), recovered with a QLoRA distill of Claude Fable 5 reasoning traces. It uses the Qwen3.5 hybrid architecture (GatedDeltaNet linear attention + full attention + MoE) and emits `<think>...</think>` reasoning.

	## What this conversion did

	- Fused the routed-MoE experts from per-expert tensors (`experts.{i}.{gate,up,down}_proj`) into mlx-lm's stacked `experts.gate_up_proj` / `experts.down_proj` format.
	- Quantized to 6-bit, group size 64 with `mlx-lm`.
	- ~10 GB; runs on a 16 GB Apple Silicon Mac.

	## Usage

	```bash
	uv run python -m mlx_lm generate \
	--model khanh2023/Qwen3.6-14B-A3B-FableVibes-mlx-q6 \
	--prompt "Solve: ..."
	```

	## Notes

	- MoE sparsity (~3B active/token) makes decode fast (~46 tok/s on an M4) despite 14B total params.
	- 6-bit preserves more exactness than q4 on strict reasoning, at ~10 GB (needs a raised Metal wired limit on 16 GB). A smaller `-mlx-q4` variant is also available.
