Qwen3.6-27B in NVFP4, served by vllm.cpp: LocalAI's own C++ port of vLLM, with no Python at inference time. This is the reference text-generation checkpoint the engine is gated on, token-for-token identical to vLLM's own greedy output over the 235-prompt correctness battery, and measured at or above vLLM's throughput at every concurrency from 1 to 32. The weights are PINNED to revision 890bdef7. That pin is load-bearing, not housekeeping: the same repository name was later re-quantized to FP8 W8A8 throughout, so an unpinned copy of this entry serves entirely different weights with no error and none of the measured behaviour above. Needs a Blackwell-class NVIDIA GPU (NVFP4 has no kernel on older architectures) and roughly 25 GB of weights plus KV cache. Tool calling and the thinking split are parsed inside the engine.

Qwen3.6-27B NVFP4 on vllm.cpp with MTP speculative decoding enabled. MTP (Multi-Token Prediction) drafts from a head that ships inside the target checkpoint's own mtp.* tensors, so there is no second model to download and no extra weights to manage. The verifier accepts roughly 85% of drafted tokens on prose and 92% on code, worth about 1.5x to 1.6x the decode throughput of the same weights with speculation off, and it holds that lead at concurrency 2, 4 and 8. Same weights and same revision pin as qwen3.6-27b-nvfp4-vllm-cpp; install that entry instead if you would rather not spend the extra memory. The speculative state (a doubled recurrent-state slot plus the draft cache and head) costs roughly 3.6 GB on top of the base footprint. MTP here is depth 1 by construction: the engine refuses num_speculative_tokens above 1 for this method.

Qwen3.6-27B NVFP4 on vllm.cpp with DFlash block-diffusion speculative decoding: the fastest configuration of this model the engine ships. Where MTP drafts one token at a time, DFlash drafts a whole 16-token block in a single non-autoregressive pass from a separate 3.5 GB drafter, then the target verifies the block in one step. At concurrency 1 that measures 2.9x the throughput of the same weights with speculation off, and at or above vLLM's own DFlash-on decode. Both checkpoints are installed for you: the target as a revision-pinned snapshot, the drafter into models/Qwen3.6-27B-DFlash, which is where the backend looks when speculative_config.model names it. The drafter shares the target's embed_tokens and lm_head, so the two are not independently swappable. Needs a Blackwell-class NVIDIA GPU and roughly 28 GB of weights in total.

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B in NVFP4, served by vllm.cpp. A 35B mixture-of-experts model with roughly 3B parameters active per token, so it reads like a much larger model while costing about as much per token as a small one. This is the engine's gated MoE checkpoint: token-for-token identical to vLLM over the 315-prompt battery on both the synchronous and asynchronous paths, at 0.92x to 0.97x vLLM's throughput from concurrency 1 to 32. The architecture is a gated-delta-net hybrid, so automatic prefix caching is off by default here where it would be on for a dense model. That is the engine's own default and this entry does not override it. Needs a Blackwell-class NVIDIA GPU and roughly 23 GB of weights plus KV cache.

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B NVFP4 on vllm.cpp with MTP speculative decoding enabled. The draft head ships inside the checkpoint's own mtp.* tensors, so there is no second model to download. On this model the speculative path is token-exact against speculation-off on both the synchronous and asynchronous schedulers. Same weights as qwen3.6-35b-a3b-nvfp4-vllm-cpp; install that entry instead if you would rather not spend the extra memory on speculative state. MTP is depth 1 by construction on this engine.
