@notsunsakis @bcherny don't call it vibe coding - that's associated with yolo i smash head on keyboard, not thinking, engineering, building, testing, debugging, iterating. agentic engineering, or just...coding. We move faster, but it's still hard.










๐ Introducing the Qwen 3.5 Small Model Series Qwen3.5-0.8B ยท Qwen3.5-2B ยท Qwen3.5-4B ยท Qwen3.5-9B โจ More intelligence, less compute. These small models are built on the same Qwen3.5 foundation โ native multimodal, improved architecture, scaled RL: โข 0.8B / 2B โ tiny, fast, great for edge device โข 4B โ a surprisingly strong multimodal base for lightweight agents โข 9B โ compact, but already closing the gap with much larger models And yes โ weโre also releasing the Base models as well. We hope this better supports research, experimentation, and real-world industrial innovation. Hugging Face: huggingface.co/collections/Qwโฆ ModelScope: modelscope.cn/collections/Qwโฆ

Qwen 3.5 Small models - fully open source - beats models 4x itโs size - 9B model performs on par with GPT OSS 120B while being 13x smaller - outperforms Gemini 3 flash and Claude sonnet 4.5 on select benchmarks - runs on any laptop - even works on a phone - completely free.
