I would also note that for people who want to download these models, you can find MLX versions of just about everything popular on huggingface these days. For instance go look at the "main" page for Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B and then follow the link to quantizations, and pick one of the more popular/reputable MLX variants.
converting a model to MLX is trivially easy as well - just a couple of lines of code and a few minutes wait.
I do find that it reliably crashes on the first try, but then it picks up from where it finishes and completes the conversion reliably.
