Qwen3.6 35B (3B active)

User reports Qwen3.6-35B-A3B at 173.4 t/s on a single Mac Studio with an M5 Max and 36 GB of unified memory. Setup is Rapid-MLX 0.16.1 default with MLX 4-bit weights and MTP speculative decoding on the text-only lane; configured context capacity, KV precision and Flash Attention are unknown. The figure is the article's rounded single-stream decode rate, client-observed streaming decode-phase throughput rather than engine-native timing, and the source warns differences under about 5% may be run variation.
