I wish each quant was benchmarked on the same tests as the original network so we could compare their performance

Unsloth publishes KL divergence numbers which measures how much the quantised probability distribution changes vs unquantised: https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.8#quantization-analysis

It's a bit bare at the moment, I assume they are going to add further detail later (eg comparison to other quants), similar to their other releases.

When I tested various eval benchmarks on Qwen3.5/3.6 27B with Unsloth's quants, the scores usually dropped 0-5% between UD-Q6 and UD-Q3 depending on the eval.
