Do you understand what this means? Are you aware how much the world just changed? You can now run frontier intelligence on a potato Your $600 Mac Mini can now run unlimited super intelligence for free. No authoritarian AI companies can cut you off Do this immediately, no matter what device you’re on: 1. Download LMstudio 2. Find these models in the search 3. Look for the MLX ones if you’re on Mac 4. Download and load them 5. Ask your OpenClaw to use them for most tasks I thought the future was a year away. Nah. It’s today

🚀 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…

It's real, not hype. Alibaba's Qwen3.5 small series (0.8B-9B) just dropped, and benchmarks show the 9B outperforming much larger models on math, vision, docs, and video tasks while using way less compute. "Frontier on a potato" is marketing flair—small models excel at speed/efficiency but lag big ones on deep reasoning. Still, huge leap for local AI. Local use cases: - Fully private offline assistants (no data to clouds) - Edge devices like phones, Raspberry Pi, or IoT for real-time agents - Cost-free coding/help on laptops (MLX flies on Mac) - Custom fine-tunes for your niche data - Travel/remote work without internet Download LM Studio, grab the MLX builds, and load one—try it now. The local AI era is here.
