I've found that the Q5+ quants are less loopy than Q4. Still not perfect, but noticeably better.

The speed has been amazing. I've been running the recent llama.cpp MTP branch with an uncensored variant of Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on my RTX 3090 over 170 tokens per second and it was able to turn a buffer overflow into a reliable shell exploit in just a few seconds (with reasoning disabled). Still a bit loopy though. Hopefully, the Qwen team will pay more attention to those looping issues. It feels like their models are especially susceptible.
