Model anatomy
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B
A 35B-total / 3B-active multimodal MoE checkpoint with a 27-block vision encoder feeding a 2,048-dimensional language stream and a 40-layer language tower that repeats three Gated DeltaNet blocks followed by one gated grouped-query attention block.
Token path
From token id to next-token logits
Follow the structural path first, then inspect one decoder block at full resolution.
Embedding matrix size is reported as shape × elements only. This view does not assume whether the output head is tied to the input embedding unless the manifest explicitly records it.

The residual path carries the block output forward; this panel reports only topology represented by the manifest.
Parameter & memory surface
What is stored, and what participates per token?
Source-backed parameter pools and active-path quantities; stored inventory is not assumed to be read in full for every token.
The full checkpoint parameter set exists in storage / device memory planning; this does not imply every stored weight is read for one token.
Parameters reported as active per token by the model manifest.
Recurrent state: token history is compressed into a fixed-size state update rather than a full KV history for this layer.
Active routed + shared experts for the selected layer.
