Oh that's fascinating. 3.6 27B is pretty damned good, but slow in wall-clock times on my DGX Spark-alike. It generates huge reams of thinking before it gets the (usually correct!) answer, so wall-clock time is rough for tasks even at ~20tk/s

I'm surprised the 26B-A4B is better? It should be faster too, interesting. I'm excited to try 31B with MTP, because MTP-2 is what makes 27B bearable on the GB10.

What are you using it for? Agent-based coding, or something else?

General purpose, mostly internet research in the form of slow-crawling. (Emphasis on slow - I've ultimately landed on Scrapling's API for seamless content rendering, and I use image support so as not to exclude informative images or weirdly rendered text.)

For coding I don't need image support so I stuff the entire GPU with text-only mode. I don't have a workflow where I send LLMs off to generate thousands of lines of code but what little coding I did I did with Qwen3.6 and it was spectacular, as you likely suggest.
