MLX-Qwopus3.5-27B-v3-5bit
A 5-bit MLX quantization of Jackrong/Qwopus3.5-27B-v3 with the vision_tower removed.
Smaller in size (~0.9 GB) for the same quant level as the multimodal version, better suited for agentic use and can sustain multiple concurrent streams.
Supports {%- set enable_thinking = false %} Jinja variable.
Update [2026-04-12]: Refined the chat template to further improve stability for long-running tasks and tool use; mitigated an issue where incorrect think tag formatting could leak from a distillation dataset.
