Qwen3.6-27B · ROCmFPX

Stock Q6_K quality, ~30% faster prompt-processing on AMD Strix Halo (gfx1151)

ROCmFPX 3→8-bit quants of unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF — the general-purpose base, with MTP speculative decoding + Qwen3-VL vision. Neutral imatrix calibration, so base behavior is preserved (not skewed toward code).

Quality ≈ stock Q6_K (PPL within error)
Prompt processing +29% vs Q6_K (short ctx) → +20% at 64k — measured
Decode ~18 tok/s with MTP (~9 raw)
Vision Qwen3-VL — bundled mmproj/

⚠️ Requires the ROCmFPX fork (build main — the FP* types are merged in) — custom AMD quant types (enum IDs 110–115), not upstream-stable. Won't load in stock llama.cpp / LM Studio / Ollama. HF's precision badge is wrong — pick the file by name.

Quick start

# build the fork once — main already has the ROCmFPX quant types
git clone https://github.com/charlie12345/ROCmFPX.git && cd ROCmFPX
JOBS=16 scripts/build-strix-rocmfp4-mtp.sh

# serve the flagship — MTP + vision

Tool calls: serve with --jinja so the model's own chat template emits them — no special parser flag needed.

Clean dedicated-GPU llama-bench (both servers stopped, warm-up pass discarded). The gfx1151-tuned ROCmFPX kernels win the compute-bound prefill — the edge is largest at short context and narrows to +20% at 64k as O(n²) attention takes over. Decode is bandwidth-bound (≈ Q6_K raw), and MTP (--spec-type draft-mtp) ~doubles it in serving. Single-rep llama-bench; treat absolutes as ±a few %.
