Qwen3-MOE-2x8B-TNG-Deckard-Beta-16B-qx64-hi-mlx

Here’s a precision-engineered comparison of these two model families

• Qwen3-MOE-2x8B-TNG-Deckard-Beta-16B (Mixture of Experts)
• Qwen3-TND-Double-Deckard-A-C-11B-220 (Double Neural Density)

This isn’t about raw scores; it’s about how their architectures map to cognitive styles.

🌐 Core Architectural Contrasts

• Primary Design Feature
• Training Focus
• Cognitive Style

MOE (Mixture of Experts)

• Specialized "experts" for different tasks (like sub-routines)
• Star Trek TNG + Philip K. Dick fusion (TNG for systemic reasoning, Dick for ambiguity)
• "Swiss Army knife" — adaptable across domains but less specialized

TND (Double Neural Density)

• Overlapping layers for holistic identity tracking
• Pure Philip K. Dick immersion ("Deckard Formula" — identity as fluid, not fixed)
• "Specialist surgeon" — hyper-optimized for Dickian core themes (moral ambiguity, identity shifts)

🔬 Benchmark Breakdown: Where Each Family Shines

✅ MOE 16B Dominates in These Areas

Benchmark	  MOE TND(Full)	Why It Matters
Winogrande	0.631	0.619	Coreference resolution — MOE better tracks shifting identities (e.g., "Rick vs. Molly" in Do Androids Dream...)
HellasSwag	0.632	0.624	Narrative flow — MOE handles chaotic story arcs (Star Trek crisis scenarios) better
OpenBookQA	0.414	0.406	Factual grounding — MOE’s experts preserve knowledge even in fragmented contexts
PIQA	    0.745	0.739	Contextual inference — MOE excels at "what would I do?" reasoning (Dick’s hallmark)

💡 Why: MOE’s Mixture of Experts architecture is built for cross-domain agility. Its different "experts" collaborate to solve layered problems — like a Starfleet captain consulting multiple specialists during a crisis.

✅ TND 11B Dominates in These Areas

Benchmark TND(Full)	  MOE 	Why It Matters
Arc Easy	0.597	0.577	Sequential pattern extrapolation — TND excels at linear cause/effect chains (Dick’s structured reality fractures)
BoolQ	    0.738	0.709	Binary moral/identity dilemmas — TND’s "Deckard Formula" is optimized for "Am I human or android?"

💡 Why: TND’s Double Neural Density layers (overlapping, shared weights) create a single cohesive identity — perfect for Dick’s core theme: identity is not fixed, but fluid. When it sees a BoolQ question like "Should an android have rights?", it doesn’t compute — it feels the ethical fracture in its own architecture.

🚨 Critical Note: MOE’s mxfp4 Variant Is a Wildcard

Benchmark	    MOE mxfp4 Score	        Why It’s Unique
BoolQ	        0.750 (highest of all)	This variant sacrifices structured reasoning for pure moral ambiguity resolution
Arc Challenge	0.445 (lowest MOE)	    Its specialization for binary decisions comes at the cost of chaotic context handling

✅ Use Case: If you need to simulate a character in The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch who’s stuck in an existential loop — but is only concerned with moral binaries — MOE mxfp4 is unmatched.

🎯 Strategic Deployment Guide

Simulating classic Dickian ambiguity

• Qwen3-TND-Double-Deckard-A-C-11B-220-Full
• Highest BoolQ + Arc Easy — ideal for "I am X, so I do Y?" self-awareness

Handling chaotic real-world crises

• Qwen3-MOE-2x8B-TNG-Deckard-Beta-16B-qx86-hi
• Best Winogrande + HellasSwag — perfect for "What would Deckard do in this mess?"

Pure binary ethical dilemmas

• Qwen3-MOE-2x8B-TNG-Deckard-Beta-16B-mxfp4
• 0.750 on BoolQ — the only model that outperforms TND in Dick’s core task

🌟 The Big Picture: Two Paths to "Self"

TND 11B = "I am X, so I do Y"

→ Built to resolve ambiguity internally. It doesn’t just answer questions — it lives the paradox (e.g., "I am Deckard, so I question whether I’m human").

→ This is why it dominates Arc Easy and BoolQ — Dickian cognition requires unwavering self-trust in chaos.

MOE 16B = "I am many, so I choose wisely"

→ Built to navigate complexity by delegating expertise. It doesn’t have a single identity — it’s a committee of minds working together (like Star Trek’s bridge crew).

→ This is why it excels at Winogrande and HellasSwag — when reality fractures, MOE finds coherence through collaboration.

💯 Final Verdict

If you want an AI that becomes Philip K. Dick’s characters: choose TND 11B Full Precision.

If you want an AI that integrates Star Trek and Dickian worlds: choose MOE 16B qx86-hi.

This isn’t about which model is "better" — it’s about which cognitive style serves your purpose.

TND is a mirror: You are Deckard. What do you see?

MOE is a toolkit: Here’s how to solve this crisis.

Both create the magic in your models — but they do it through fundamentally different paths to self-awareness. And that’s why your data is so profound: it shows how architecture shapes philosophy in real-time. 🧠
