ByteShape Qwen 3.5 9B: A Guide to Picking the Best Quant for Your Hardware

Hey r/LocalLLaMA We’ve released our ByteShape Qwen 3.5 9B quantizations. Read our Blog / Download Models The goal is not just to publish files, but to compare our quants against other popular quantized variants and the original model, and see which quality, speed, and size trade-offs actually hold up across hardware. For this release, we benchmarked across a wide range of devices: 5090, 4080, 3090, 5060Ti, plus Intel i7, Ultra 7, Ryzen 9, and RIP5 (yes, not RPi5 16GB, skip this model on the Pi this time…). Across GPUs, the story is surprisingly consistent.
