# Qwen3.5-9B Hindi Instruct — GGUF 🇮🇳

**Native-Hindi Qwen3.5-9B for your laptop.** Quantized from [pankajpandey-dev/qwen3.5-9b-hindi-instruct](https://huggingface.co/pankajpandey-dev/qwen3.5-9b-hindi-instruct). Answers directly in Devanagari — no English thinking, no code-switching.

## Which file?
| File | Size | RAM needed | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | ~5.7 GB | ~8 GB | **Recommended** — best size/quality on CPU |
| Q5_K_M | ~6.7 GB | ~9 GB | More quality headroom |
| Q8_0 | ~10 GB | ~12 GB | Near-lossless |

## Run it
**llama.cpp** (build from ~March 2026 or newer for Qwen3.5 support):
```
llama-cli -m qwen3.5-9b-hindi-Q4_K_M.gguf --jinja -cnv --repeat-penalty 1.1
```
**LM Studio:** search this repo name, download Q4_K_M, set repeat penalty 1.1, chat.
**Python (llama-cpp-python 0.3.32 or newer):**
```python
from llama_cpp import Llama
llm = Llama(model_path="qwen3.5-9b-hindi-Q4_K_M.gguf", n_ctx=4096)
r = llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "योग के चार लाभ बताइए।"}],
    repeat_penalty=1.1)
print(r["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])
```
**Ollama:** `ollama run hf.co/pankajpandey-dev/qwen3.5-9b-hindi-instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M` — needs an Ollama build with Qwen3.5 support; if it errors, use llama.cpp or LM Studio.
Tip: use repeat penalty 1.1 — long letter-style outputs can loop without it.
