A user on Reddit shared their experience achieving nearly 100,000 tokens of context with the Qwen3.6-27B model, quantized to Q8, on a system with 32GB of VRAM. They detailed two configurations: one using Q8 quantization for both the model and KV cache to reach 95K context, and another using Q8 for the model but Q5_1 for the KV cache to push the context to 105K. The user noted that while Qwen models are generally considered tolerant of quantization, their personal experience suggested otherwise, and VRAM usage was at the limit for these high context lengths.
