Analysis

This is exciting news for anyone looking to run powerful Generative AI models locally! A new quantization of the Qwen3.5 Large Language Model (LLM) is optimized for 24GB of VRAM, potentially leading to faster inference speeds, especially with Vulkan backends. The focus on specific quantization types offers a fresh approach to model optimization.
