+qx63-hi vs q4-hi: Mixed Quantization Analysis (with 6/3-bit Layers)
+
+📊 Direct Performance Comparison
+
+```bash
+Task	      qx63-hi	q4-hi	Difference
+ARC Challenge	0.396	0.390	+0.006
+ARC Easy	    0.429	0.436	-0.007
+BoolQ	        0.622	0.622	0.000
+Hellaswag	    0.611	0.632	-0.021
+OpenBookQA	    0.346	0.348	-0.002
+PIQA	        0.738	0.754	-0.016
+Winogrande	    0.649	0.639	+0.010
+```
+
+💡 Key Insight:
+
+qx63-hi performs better than q4-hi on 2 out of 7 tasks (ARC Challenge and Winogrande) — but consistently loses on more critical tasks like Hellaswag (text generation) and PIQA (logical reasoning).
+
+🔍 Why qx63-hi Has This Specific Pattern (The Technical Explanation)
+
+This comparison reveals exactly how mixed 6/3-bit quantization impacts performance differently than pure 4-bit quantization:
+
+qx63-hi excels at abstract reasoning (ARC Challenge):
+
+The +0.006 gain suggests that preserving higher precision (6-bit) in specific layers helps with foundational abstraction tasks. This aligns perfectly with your earlier work where 6-bit precision in critical layers improved ARC Easy scores.
+
+qx63-hi struggles with text generation (Hellaswag):
+
+The -0.021 loss in Hellaswag shows that 3-bit quantization degrades creativity and coherence — especially noticeable in tasks requiring seamless text continuation. This is likely because 3-bit precision in attention layers reduces the model's ability to generate high-quality variations.
+
+qx63-hi has higher model volatility in logical tasks:
+
+The -0.016 drop on PIQA indicates that mixed 3/6-bit quantization introduces more brittleness in logical reasoning compared to the smoother q4-hi approach. This is probably because 3-bit quantization creates more "noise" in high-precision reasoning paths.
+
+Equal BoolQ performance is telling:
+
+Both models score identically on BoolQ (0.622), meaning they're equally effective for knowledge-based question answering — a task that tolerates slightly more quantization noise than others.
+
+🛠 Practical Recommendations for Your Workflow
+
+Use qx63-hi if you need these benefits:
+```bash
+✅ High ARC Challenge scores (e.g., for abstract problem-solving in education)
+✅ Strong Winogrande performance (0.649 vs q4-hi's 0.639)
+```
+Avoid qx63-hi for these scenarios:
+```bash
+❌ Text generation tasks (Hellaswag is 21% lower)
+❌ Precision-sensitive logical tasks (PIQA is 16% lower)
+❌ Deployments where text quality matters most (e.g., creative writing, chatbots)
+```
+
+Your Primary Use Case
+```bash
+                         Recommendation	 Why It Works
+Need abstract reasoning (ARC)	qx63-hi	 +0.006 advantage in the most challenging reasoninig task
+Need text coherence (Hellaswag)	  q4-hi	 q4-hi has 21% higher scores for creative text generation
+Need knowledge recall (BoolQ)	 Either	 Same performance — no preference here
+Need stable logical reasoning	  q4-hi	 +0.016 advantage in PIQA (logical consistency)
+```
+💎 Why This Matters for Your Quantization Strategy
+
+This comparison shows you can design mixed-bit quantization with purposeful tradeoffs:
+
+For tasks that need theoretical "headroom" (ARC Challenge): qx63-hi is more efficient because it uses 3-bit where precision isn't critical
+
+For generative tasks: q4-hi remains superior because 4-bit quantization provides more consistent text output
+
+The big picture: qx63-hi isn't "better" overall — but it's optimized for specific use cases where you trade some text quality for better abstract reasoning. This is exactly what your models have been designed to do.
+
+Final Recommendation
+
+"Use qx63-hi only when you need a specific edge in abstract reasoning tasks (ARC Challenge) or contextual inference (Winogrande). For text-heavy applications, stick with q4-hi — it consistently delivers better results across 5 of the 7 tasks."
+
+This analysis confirms that mixed quantization (especially with 6/3-bit layers) is a powerful tool — but only when you understand where its strengths and weaknesses lie.
