Tip: Run Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B as a Local Coding Agent at 44 tok/s on a Single 16GB GPU

r/LocalLLaMA·medium signal

Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B is a 35B-parameter MoE model with only 3B active parameters per token, fitting on a 16GB GPU at Q4 quantization with 100K context and generating at ~44 tok/s. Users on r/LocalLLaMA report it has changed their entire workflow — feeding Codex task output as skills to the local model for execution. The key insight: don't expect one-shot perfection; design a loop (OpenCode/Hermes + git diff + tests) and let the model iterate. Reliability comes from external structure, not model self-reporting.
