Quantized Qwen3.6-27B model achieves 100k context on 16GB VRAM

A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA has detailed a method for running the Qwen3.6-27B model on a system with 16GB of VRAM, achieving a context length of 100,000 tokens. The process involves creating a custom GGUF quantization of the model using Unsloth's imatrix and a specific fork of llama-cpp-turboquant. The user provides step-by-step instructions, including build commands and server execution parameters, along with a configuration for integration with OpenCode. AI
