Zyphra's ZHA method converts Qwen3.6-35B-A3B with 81,920 trainable parameters
Overview
Zyphra says its ZHA method converts existing pretrained models through distillation using only a few billion tokens while keeping the base model frozen, so no training from scratch is needed.
For Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, Zyphra says ZHA adds only 81,920 trainable parameters, about 0.00024% of the model.
The report is a single post on Zyphra's X account, and it does not give benchmark results for the converted model.
