Pictures are on by default (CPU reader under 24 GB, GPU reader from 24 GB, every make; no Mac reader yet).
Gyro and NVFP4-QAD read pictures; Gyro needs engine 0.1.45.1+ and is correct on RTX 50 since the SwiGLU guard.
The three NVFP4 versions get their app names. A Qwen3.6-35B-A3B section, the app and Terminal ways to add a model,
and engine versions on the older speed tables. Troubleshooting: no-engine warning, needs a newer engine / Update
engine, Mac xattr steps, strata doctor, Save logs. Private test-notes references removed.
An earlier commit capped the accepted drafts at the end of an answer; that is an exact state, but it moved the hybrid mode's expert-slot
counts, so a sequence of requests with --mtp on a card that does not hold every expert differed from the base engine from the fourth
request on (found by comparing the 10 parity prompts against the base goldens on the 12 GB card). Now the speculative step commits what
the base engine committed; a stop seen before the state moves keeps only x (the server's hand-over of a stopped request to a batch slot then
reuses the held state: its text equals the run alone), and the held tokens list x and every accepted draft, so a conversation that continues
from them matches the state exactly. Setup says what parallel measured on the 12 GB card; docs/QWEN36.md updated.
spec_step takes no draft past an end-of-answer token or past the room max_new leaves, and a stop asked for before the state moves keeps
only x: every token emitted but the last is in the state, so a conversation that continues from the held tokens (the server's solo ->
slot -> solo hand-over, a chat's next turn) neither misses nor reads a token twice. Before, an answer ending inside accepted drafts left
the state ahead of the held tokens (found by tools/qwen35/q36_serve_handoff.py: the first request's text now equals its run alone).
STRATA_Q36_READ_WINDOWS sets the decode windows of the other slots between two chunks of a prompt read (default 1). The mtmd dump takes
several pictures; the engine logs each request's reuse; a 1,024-token test picture.
Setup: the images question for qwen36 (GPU encoder on an NVIDIA card of 16 GB or more, the CPU encoder otherwise, AMD under Linux on the
CPU; --vision gpu kept as asked with a note), the pinned mmproj (size and SHA-256) beside the GGUF, the vision section and --vision in
the config; --parallel N is written as asked with what a slot costs, and the recommendation is said where every expert still fits.
docs/QWEN36.md: pictures and several requests at once with the measurements.
