Less size & quality questions

Hello, 0xSero! I want to ask you about quality of this model if you have tested it. Do you feel massive decrease in quality compared to original model? Do you recommend using this model of yours or Qwen3.6-35-A3B would be better? Do you plan of making V2, or this is final version?
If decrease is not much, I would like if you create even more compact model, pruning 50% of experts, if possible (or a bit more). Of course, only if you do have free time and if you accept requests like those.
I want be able to run this model with my only 32GB of RAM for testing, maybe with better quantization once I got dGPU.

Also I noticed that you created GGUF version of this model. Is it uses custom quant, or simple llama.cpp Q2 legacy quantization? If its custom, could you tell if IQ2_XS or this Q2 is better to use?
And I want to ask the last thing - how does REAP work? I want to understand if it requires VRAM/RAM, or you can REAP model on any hardware?
