Which version can someone with a budget of only 16GB GPU use?

I've looked around and it seems there aren't any MTP versions available that can be used with 16GB VRAM for agent coding. Q3 and below seem normal.

I found a Q4_K_S version that seems usable but requires modification. I removed MTP, saving over 200MB, and tried running it at 80K context tokens along with some CPU offload. Initially, it showed even better output quality than your previously released Q4_K_M version.

Qwen3.6-27B-AutoRound-GGUF Q4_K_S NEW_Quant -ctv f16 -ctk f16 PPL = 6.9552 +/- 0.04589
Qwen3.6-27B-AutoRound-GGUF Q4_K_M OLD_Quant -ctv f16 -ctk f16 PPL = 6.9746 +/- 0.04608

I'm currently using IQ4_XS versions, but switching to this one significantly reduces hallucinations. The speed is slower, but the feeling of completing the task is even faster because I don't have to re-test and fix errors as often.

Script for those who need it remove mtp python

Thanks for sharing! Yeah I should really consider that adding MTP will add size thus restrict the use by 16GB VRAM. That's said, the non-mtp version still possible to grab via old commits. Going forward I'll try to aim for the 16GB goal!
