Qwen3.6-27B AEON Ultimate, OpenVINO INT4. The dense Qwen: richest prose, on ONE Intel Arc B70.
This is AEON-7's "Ultimate Uncensored" tune of the dense Qwen3.6-27B, converted to OpenVINO INT4 with Intel's published recipe for this model (int4 asymmetric, group size 128). It completes my Qwen3.6 family: pick the 35B MoE siblings for speed (~108 tok/s), pick this dense 27B when you want every token computed by the full 27B parameters: noticeably richer, more deliberate prose at dense speeds.
Runs on the stock 2026.2 runtime. No patches, no workarounds, straight out of the converter.
Family and toolkit: OpenVino-For-Gemma-4 toolkit, 35B MoE heretic, Ornith 35B MoE, plus the Gemma-4 side: 26B MoE, 31B, 12B.
Measured performance (single Arc Pro B70, OpenVINO 2026.2)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Decode, short context | ~32 tok/s |
| Decode at 6K context | ~28 tok/s |
| Prefill (pp512) | ~1,660 tok/s (no published same-card baseline for this model) |
| Prefill at depth | ~2,100 tok/s at 2K-6K, ~1,850 at 16K (ingests 16K in ~10 s); 32K exceeds a single 32 GB card's VRAM |
| Model load | ~32 s |
| Weights | ~15 GB (24 GB+ card recommended for real context headroom) |
Long-context capability and the honest single-card limit
Needle retrieval test: a password fact planted early in the prompt, retrieved at the end.
| Context | Result |
|---|---|
| 8K | PASS (6.4 s total) |
| 16K | PASS (13.6 s) |
| 24K | PASS (29.4 s) |
| 32K | out of GPU memory on a 32 GB card |
The dense 27B carries 64 layers of KV cache; around 32K context that plus ~15 GB of weights exceeds a 32 GB card. Practical guidance on one B70: treat this as a 24K model. The MoE siblings verify to 32K on the same card because their KV footprint leaves more headroom. The architecture itself is rated to 262K positions; more VRAM extends it.
Sample output
Asked, in character as a dry-witted housecarl, about a sweetroll dropped off a cliff:
You have the navigational instincts of a blind horse, my lord. If you had looked down for five seconds, we would still be warm and well-fed.
How to run
Identical usage to the 35B MoE sibling:
standard Qwen <|im_start|> format, pre-closed <think>\n\n</think> block for fast no-think
replies (remove it and give at least 1024 tokens to enable reasoning),
{"DYNAMIC_QUANTIZATION_GROUP_SIZE": 0} only if you use continuous batching. Full runnable

Conversion recipe (reproducible)
Intel's published recipe for the dense 27B: INT4 asymmetric, group size 128, no AWQ, no ignored_scope, exported as image-text-to-text with optimum-intel (git main) and transformers 5.2.0. The finetune repo's config was saved by a newer transformers than the export toolchain reads; the conversion scripts in the toolkit swap in the base model's structurally identical config automatically.
