Portable Windows launcher for Qwen3.6-27B inference. Unzip, double-click start.bat, you're serving on http://127.0.0.1:5001/v1.

What's in the zip

  • Embedded Python 3.12.7 with textual / rich / httpx / pyyaml preinstalled
  • Patched vLLM wheel (0.19.0+devnen.<N>) bundled under wheels/
  • 12 validated snapshot configs:
    • start_72tps — ~72 tok/s short-prompt baseline (~200-token chat, 32 k ctx, MTP n=3)
    • start_speed — 64.5 tok/s long-prompt default (~100 KB / ~24 k-token Python source, 90 k ctx, MTP n=6)
    • start_127k — 53.4 tok/s, max context on a single 3090
    • start_mtp4 — 58.3 tok/s, mid-balance speed vs context
    • start_pp2_160k — 43.5 tok/s on 2× 3090 PP=2, 160 k context
    • plus start_gpu0_50k and short-prompt variants (full table in the README)
  • Helper tools: bench, bench_summarize, check_coherence, verify_install, patch_tokenizer, probe_max_ctx
  • Full docs: HARDWARE / COHERENCE / TUNING / TROUBLESHOOTING / MTP_HEAD

Install

  1. Download qwen3.6-windows-server-portable-x64.zip.
  2. Verify SHA256 (recommended — see below).
  3. Extract anywhere — no admin needed, including Program Files / Program Files (x86).
  4. Double-click start.bat. On first run the launcher auto-discovers existing weights or offers to download Lorbus/Qwen3.6-27B-int4-AutoRound from Hugging Face (~16 GB, public, no token).

What's new in v0.1.2

  • Bundled Windows Terminal. A portable Windows Terminal is shipped under terminal/ and start.bat automatically launches the TUI inside it — no separate install required, no Microsoft Store, works on Windows 10. Falls back gracefully to plain cmd if the bundle is missing.

What's new in v0.1.1

  • Truly portable. The launcher now works from any path including Program Files (x86) (parens-safe start.bat, embedded-Python _pth correctly wired).
  • Auto-discover model. Checks env var → saved config → install/models → drive scan; only prompts when nothing is found.
  • Auto-download. When prompted, the launcher can fetch the Lorbus quant directly from Hugging Face using only stdlib urllib — no token, no huggingface_hub install needed. Resume-safe.
  • Writable-path fallback. When the install dir is read-only (e.g. real Program Files), logs / downloaded models / saved config auto-route to %LocalAppData%\qwen36-windows-server\.
  • Visible errors. A failure during startup no longer just flashes the cmd window and closes — the error stays on screen with a Press a key prompt.
