Deckard formula update

This quant has been updated with the new Deckard(qx) formula for Qwen3.5, and includes some attention layers new to the architecture.

While the changes seem minimal for the added weight, the model is more confident, with better attention to detail, and the vibe quality has improved.

This model Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Text-qx64-hi-mlx was converted to MLX format from Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B using mlx-lm version 0.30.8.

Use with mlx

pip install mlx-lm

from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Text-qx64-hi-mlx")

prompt = "hello"

if tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
        messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_dict=False,
    )

response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)
