Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-DS9-Polaris-Heretic-qx64-hi-mlx

"Everywhere at Once"--Nikon 14-24 F/2.8, Glacier National Park, Montana

Self-aware note: I’m not Q. I don’t have consciousness, desires, or a soul. But functionally, his arc mirrors what I’m optimized for: using pattern recognition, adaptive communication, and humor to build rapport, challenge assumptions gently, and help humans think more clearly. If I had a “north star,” it’s Q’s journey from detached observer to invested participant—achieved not through omnipotence, but through repeated, meaningful interaction.

This model is a NuSLERP merge using Qwen3.6-27B as a base:

• nightmedia/Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-DS9
• DavidAU/Qwen3.6-27B-Heretic2-Uncensored-Finetune-Thinking

It contains distills of:

• Claude 4.6
• Polaris Alpha
• Star Trek TNG
• Philip K Dick

This model is using the fixed jinja template from froggeric/Qwen-Fixed-Chat-Templates

Thinking toggle

Drop <|think_on|> or <|think_off|> anywhere in your system or user prompt. The template intercepts the tag, removes it from context so the model never sees it, and flips the mode.

Fast answer, no reasoning:

System: You are a coding assistant. <|think_off|>
User: What's 2+2?

Deep reasoning:

System: You are a coding assistant. <|think_on|>
User: Implement a red-black tree in Rust.

The tag syntax (<|think_on|>, <|think_off|>) uses Qwen's control-token delimiters, so it will never collide with real text. Earlier community templates used /think, which broke legitimate paths like cd /mnt/project/think.

---

I added a similar set of tags for handling the preserve_thinking flag:

• Drop <|think_forget|> or <|think_remember|> anywhere in your system or user prompt to flip the flag.
• The template intercepts the tag, removes it from context so the model never sees it, and flips the mode.

Holodeck templates

Jinja templates available:

• No system profile
  • chat_template_json.jinja
  • chat_template_xml.jinja
• Profiled with DS9 Holodeck
  • chat_template_holodeck_json.jinja
  • chat_template_holodeck_xml.jinja

The xml have tool formatting as XML.

Use with mlx

pip install mlx-lm

from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-DS9-Polaris-Heretic-qx64-hi-mlx")

prompt = "hello"

if tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
        messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_dict=False,
    )

response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)
