Overview
Identity
- Canonical model
- Yesidentity confidence: mediumOne row per real model release. Artifacts (checkpoints, quantisations, conversions) and folded evaluation variants point here.
- Official checkpoints
- official_checkpoints = hf_repo identifiers carried by the model itself; artifacts are separate entities pointing here through canonical_id.
- Artifacts
- 5 quantizations0 official · 5 third-partySeparate entities (checkpoint · quantization · conversion · packaging) pointing to this model through canonical_id.
- Provider deployments
- 2
- API aliases
- qwen/qwen3.6-27bqwen3-6-27bqwen3-6-27b-non-reasoningIdentifiers under which providers and evaluators refer to this model.
- Folded evaluation variants
- 1Effort / thinking variants (…-high, …-non-reasoning) are result configurations of this model, not separate models. Their old URLs redirect here.

Benchmarks44
Compare with another model →Comparable same task and conditions · Partially comparable same task, conditions differ (effort, temperature, judge) · Not comparable different variant or metric
Current rows only, grouped by benchmark → canonical metric → comparability group (task configuration). Effort variants folded into this model appear as rows of the same group. 44 current rows in total. “vs leader” compares with the current leader of the benchmark's primary group only; other groups are not directly comparable. Comparability rules →
Providers & Pricing2
All offers in the price terminal →USD per 1M tokens as published by each provider; native units (per-request fees, flex/priority tiers) are kept verbatim. Rows are append-only — every price change is kept in the history below. Cost of a workload →

Hardware fit37
Assumptions (7)
- Estimated, not measured: weights = parameters × bytes/param × 1.15 runtime overhead (or the observed artifact file size when one is recorded).
- bytes/param: 4bit = 0.5, 8bit = 1.0, fp16 = 2.0 (uniform quantization, no per-layer exceptions).
- KV cache: 2 × layers × kv_heads × head_dim × 2 bytes × context × batch when the architecture is known; otherwise 0.5 GB per 8 192 tokens (× batch), independent of architecture (GQA/MLA models need less).
- A model 'fits' when the estimate is at most the device memory minus 2 GB reserved for the OS and framework.
- Mixture-of-experts models are estimated on total parameters (all experts must be resident); active parameters are ignored.
- Device memory uses the largest configuration when several are listed (e.g. Apple silicon tiers).
- Multi-GPU: device memories are summed; interconnect bandwidth, tensor-parallel replication and pipeline bubbles are not modelled.
