🚀 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. Hugging Face: huggingface.co/collections/Qw… ModelScope: modelscope.cn/collections/Qw…

weird pattern nobody's talking about the fastest ai learners right now aren't developers or students they're the people between jobs with 14 hours a day to experiment employment has become the biggest bottleneck to staying employable


officially giving up my “PM” title, we are all members of the technical staff now, time to embrace it




i follow AI adoption pretty closely, and i have never seen such a yawning inside/outside gap. people in SF are putting multi-agent claudeswarms in charge of their lives, consulting chatbots before every decision, wireheading to a degree only sci-fi writers dared to imagine. people elsewhere are still trying to get approval to use Copilot in Teams, if they're using AI at all. it's possible the early adopter bubble i'm in has always been this intense, but there seems to be a cultural takeoff happening in addition to the technical one. not ideal!







Congratulations to my partner @PortaraOfficial for the first 5,000 users have already registered on their beta Traditional perp DEXs are good but not good enough. That’s why Portara is here to fix what the missed > AI Copilot Insights: Trade with precision > Automated Strategies help you optimize your execution > Elite Engineering: Built by industry leading dev > Cross chain swaps, no more bridging It’s time to onboard to Portara, you won’t regret it Register here: portara.app/?ref=lee



TFW your kids ask an LLMs to summarize their lecture notes and the model adds comments about how the lecturer confuses certain points and is overall unclear and messy.
