NobodyWho/Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF
Overview
GGUF quantization of Qwen3.6-27B, prepared for NobodyWho: it works with NobodyWho out of the box, with Qwen's recommended sampling metadata embedded in every quant, and is verified with NobodyWho's test suite. Qwen3.6-27B is Alibaba's dense flagship — natively multimodal (text + image), with strong reasoning and best-in-class agentic tool calling (it rivals far larger MoE models on agentic-coding benchmarks).
Model Capabilities
- Text generation — instruction-following chat
- Tool calling — native function calling with grammar-constrained output (14/14 on NobodyWho's suite)
- Vision — image understanding via the companion
mmproj-BF16.ggufprojection model - Reasoning — thinking mode (on by default)
- Long context — up to 256k tokens
- Multilingual — broad language coverage
Available Quantizations
| File | Approach | Tool-calling tests |
|---|---|---|
Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-Q3_K_M-vendor-sampling.gguf | Vendor sampling injected | 14/14 |
Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-Q4_K_M-vendor-sampling.gguf | Vendor sampling injected | 14/14 |
Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-Q8_0-vendor-sampling.gguf | Vendor sampling injected | not separately run (RAM) |
mmproj-BF16.gguf | Vision projection (use with any of the above) | — |
Verified with NobodyWho's suite — tool calling 14/14 on Q3_K_M and Q4_K_M, vision on Q3_K_M (June 2026); Q8_0 not separately run (RAM). Q3_K_M (≈13.6 GB) is the comfortable fit on 24 GB; Q4_K_M (≈16.8 GB) also runs on 24 GB but is tight — it swaps and runs slower (tested 14/14); Q8_0 (≈28.6 GB) wants 32 GB+. BF16 (≈54 GB) is not hosted. The upstream GGUF has no
general.sampling.*metadata, so all quants embed Qwen's recommended sampler (seeINJECTION.md).
Quick Start
Using the NobodyWho library:
from nobodywho import Chat
chat = Chat("huggingface:NobodyWho/Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF/Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-Q3_K_M-vendor-sampling.gguf")
response = chat.ask("What is the capital of Denmark?").completed()
print(response) # The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen.
Vision
from nobodywho import Model, Chat, Prompt, Image, Text
model = Model(
"huggingface:NobodyWho/Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF/Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-Q3_K_M-vendor-sampling.gguf",
projection_model_path="huggingface:NobodyWho/Qwen_Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF/mmproj-BF16.gguf",
)
chat = Chat(model=model, system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.")
response = chat.ask(Prompt([
Text("What is in this image?"),
Image("./photo.png"),
])).completed()
print(response)
