THIS IS INSANE!!
I’m going to locally host this on my 16GB 512GB SSD Mac Mini tonight.
If this performs to almost Claude level, we’re making the switch.
RIP to the Mac Studio owners.
Qwen@Alibaba_Qwen🚀 Introducing the Qwen 3.5 Small Model Series Qwen3.5-0.8B · Qwen3.5-2B · Qwen3.5-4B · Qwen3.5-9B ✨ More intelligence, less compute. These small models are built on the same Qwen3.5 foundation — native multimodal, improved architecture, scaled RL: • 0.8B / 2B → tiny, fast, great for edge device • 4B → a surprisingly strong multimodal base for lightweight agents • 9B → compact, but already closing the gap with much larger models And yes — we’re also releasing the Base models as well. We hope this better supports research, experimentation, and real-world industrial innovation.
