Dear Team Radermacher

This one is open, but would be nothing without your expert-created quants.

So, would you mind creating a set?

https://huggingface.co/nightmedia/Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-DS9-Polaris-Heretic-BF16

This model is a NuSLERP merge using Qwen3.6-27B as a base:

• nightmedia/Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-DS9
• DavidAU/Qwen3.6-27B-Heretic2-Uncensored-Finetune-Thinking

It contains distills of:

• Claude 4.6
• Polaris Alpha
• Star Trek TNG
• Philip K Dick

This model is using the fixed jinja template from froggeric/Qwen-Fixed-Chat-Templates

Thinking toggle

Drop <|think_on|> or <|think_off|> anywhere in your system or user prompt. The template intercepts the tag, removes it from context so the model never sees it, and flips the mode.

Fast answer, no reasoning:

System: You are a coding assistant. <|think_off|>
User: What's 2+2?

Deep reasoning:

System: You are a coding assistant. <|think_on|>
User: Implement a red-black tree in Rust.

The tag syntax (<|think_on|>, <|think_off|>) uses Qwen's control-token delimiters, so it will never collide with real text. Earlier community templates used /think, which broke legitimate paths like cd /mnt/project/think.

I added a similar set of tags for handling the preserve_thinking flag:

Drop <|think_forget|> or <|think_remember|> anywhere in your system or user prompt to flip the flag.
The template intercepts the tag, removes it from context so the model never sees it, and flips the mode.

Holodeck templates

Jinja templates available:

• No system profile
  • chat_template_json.jinja
  • chat_template_xml.jinja
• Profiled with DS9 Holodeck
  • chat_template_holodeck_json.jinja
  • chat_template_holodeck_xml.jinja

The xml have tool formatting as XML.
