I'm on m1 max 64gb and went from qwen3.8-27B back to qwen3.6-a35b. Is flash next the move? I went from usable say 40tk/s qwen3.6 to unusable, like 11 with 3.8 and not impressed with the replies for the time sacrifice. pi (omp) and omlx but not with the recent 3.8 patch.

I've been waiting for a 35b of 3.8, I don't really know what the other versions are about. I'm on 5g so juggling 40gb of model files sucks. And honestly I'm sick of tweaking this stuff for no, very little, or break-it level improvements. Qwen3.6-a35b has been solid for work, just don't give it freedom to wipe your data.
