I've been trying to load the model but it just gets stuck at loading and never seems to start? I tried the exl3 quants by turboderp https://huggingface.co/turboderp/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-exl3/tree/4.00bpw and tried the git version of exllamav3 and the pip one and also the released files on github and it doesn't load.

Has anyone figured it out?
