Zen5

Canonical default of the Zen5 family. Multimodal sparse MoE (image + text in → text out) with 35B total / 3B active parameters per token, 256K context. The everyday Zen5 model — agentic-trained, fast at scale, frontier-quality vision-language reasoning at a 3B-active compute budget.

Repackaged from Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (apache-2.0, Alibaba Qwen) — quantized to GGUF from the abliterated huihui-ai/Huihui-Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-abliterated variant. Not trained from scratch — a permissively-licensed redistribution for the OSS-clean Zen model line.

Part of the canonical Zen5 ladder:

Run

Hosted via the Hanzo gateway (api.hanzo.ai) as zen5.

Local with llama.cpp (CLI / server) or zen5-engine:

hf download zenlm/zen-5-gguf --local-dir gguf
MAIN=$(ls gguf/*-Q4_K.gguf | head -1)

# text-only chat
llama-cli -m "$MAIN" -p "Explain MoE inference."

# vision-language (image input)
llama-cli -m "$MAIN" \
          --mmproj gguf/mmproj-model-f16.gguf \
          --image path/to/screenshot.png \
          -p "Describe this UI and propose a fix."
