I've uploaded new quants using the new fused Up + Gate conversion, this offers up to a +10% boost in prompt processing speed from my testing.
Description
This repo contains specialized MoE-quants for Qwen3.5-35B-A3B. The idea being that given the huge size of the FFN tensors compared to the rest of the tensors in the model, it should be possible to achieve a better quality while keeping the overall size of the entire model smaller compared to a similar naive quantization. To that end, the quantization type default is kept in high quality and the FFN UP + FFN GATE tensors are quanted down along with the FFN DOWN tensors.
