Qwen3.5-24B-A3B-REAP-0.32 IQ4_NL GGUF

Quanter's Note: This model is the parent of every solid performing reasoning distill I've benched out of 40 or so models in the last month, this thing has some solid potential for a model that has been given a partial lobotomy, awfully impressive. Perplexity test I devised is Extremely Tough on models, high convergence rate on alien/unusual codebases, plenty of potential for finetunes. I felt the base model deserved some attention alongside its author and I'm glad to see people downloading it. Every finetune of this model I benched, IMPROVED over this base model. Very impressive.

GGUF quantization of sandeshrajx/Qwen3.5-24B-A3B-REAP-0.32 — a REAP-pruned 24B total, ~3B active MoE model.

REAP (Razor Edge And Pruning, arxiv:2510.13999) is a structured pruning technique that reduces the base Qwen3.5 model while preserving capability.
