Qwen3.5 27B OptiQ 4bit

Qwen3.5

Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released April 2026context N/A

A mid-sized text model running in a quantized 4-bit format, which means it trades some numerical precision for significantly reduced memory footprint. It handles text-in, text-out tasks and reflects the Qwen3.5 family's general language capabilities, though the 4-bit quantization may introduce subtle quality degradation compared to full-precision variants. Practical for running locally on hardware with limited VRAM.

Glossary

4-bit QuantizationA specific type of quantization that represents model weights using only 4 bits instead of the original 32 bits, enabling very efficient inference on consumer hardware.Full-PrecisionA model using standard 32-bit floating-point numbers to represent weights, providing maximum accuracy but requiring more memory.Memory FootprintThe amount of RAM or storage space a model requires to run, which is critical for deployment on resource-constrained devices.PrecisionThe level of numerical detail a model uses to represent its internal values; higher precision means more accurate calculations but requires more memory.QuantizationReducing a model's numerical precision (e.g., from 16-bit to 4-bit) to shrink memory usage and speed up inference.QuantizedA technique that reduces a model's size and memory usage by storing weights with lower precision (fewer bits), trading some accuracy for efficiency.Text ModelA language model that processes and generates only text, without support for images, audio, or other media types.Text-In, Text-OutA model that accepts text as input and produces text as output, without support for images, audio, or other data types.VRAMVideo RAM — the memory on a GPU that stores model weights and intermediate computations during inference.
