A user on Reddit's LocalLLaMA community shared findings on the Qwen3.6-35B model, focusing on Kullback-Leibler (KLD) divergence metrics for different quantization formats like INT8, FP8, and NVFP4. The analysis, conducted using a modified VLLM framework, suggests that FP8 and NVFP4 formats, while potentially faster, may offer lower quality compared to INT8. The user emphasizes that the choice of quantization should align with specific use cases, balancing accuracy, speed, and GPU compatibility. AI
