A user encountered significant reliability issues when using quantized versions (NVFP4/FP8) of the Qwen3.6-27B model with vLLM, specifically in agentic workflows that require reasoning and tool use. While the BF16 version of the model performed flawlessly, the quantized versions exhibited symptoms such as mid-task halting and failure loops, which were not resolved by adjusting the repetition penalty. The user is investigating whether these problems stem from configuration issues within their hardware and software stack or are inherent limitations of current quantization techniques for complex AI agent tasks.
