FableVibes 14B

FableVibes 14B is a fine-tuned variant of the Qwen 3.6 architecture, specifically optimized for local deployment on 16GB VRAM setups. Despite the “14B” nomenclature, it is derived from the larger Qwen 3.6-35B A3B base model, leveraging advanced quantization and architectural adjustments to maintain high performance within constrained hardware limits.

Key Characteristics

• Architecture: Based on Qwen 3.6-35B A3B, adapted for efficient inference.
• Target Hardware: Designed for 16GB Local LLM setups.
• Performance Profile: Benchmarked against the original 35B Base model to evaluate intelligence retention vs. resource efficiency.
• Development Context: Evaluated and popularized by lukes-dev-lab for community testing.
