Qwen3.6 Plus
Qwen 3.6 Plus is Alibaba's flagship large language model, built on a hybrid architecture combining linear attention with sparse mixture-of-experts routing for high throughput and scalability. It's optimized for agentic coding and complex multi-step workflows. On Terminal-Bench 2.0, it scores 61.6, surpassing Claude 4.5 Opus (59.3), while its 78.8 on SWE-bench Verified places it close behind. It also leads on MCPMark (48.2%) for tool-calling reliability. A native multimodal model, it handles text, images, and documents within a 1M-token context window with up to 65K output tokens. Notable features include always-on chain-of-thought reasoning, native function calling, and a preserve_thinking parameter that retains reasoning across multi-turn agent loops. A strong fit for developers building AI coding agents, terminal automation, and tool-using pipelines.
ChatQwen3.5-9B
Qwen 3.5 9B is a 9-billion parameter open-source multimodal model by Alibaba's Qwen Team, featuring a 262K native context window (extendable to ~1M tokens), support for text, image, and video input, and coverage of 201 languages. It uses a hybrid Gated DeltaNet architecture and outperforms much larger models like Qwen3-30B and OpenAI's gpt-oss-120B on key benchmarks including reasoning, vision, and document understanding.
ChatQwen3.5-122B-A10B
Qwen 3.5 122B (10B Active) is Alibaba's largest medium-sized MoE model, activating only 10B of its 122B total parameters per inference pass. It excels at agentic tasks like tool use and multi-step reasoning, leading the Qwen 3.5 lineup on benchmarks such as BFCL-V4 and BrowseComp. It supports 262K native context (extendable to 1M), native multimodal input, and 201 languages under Apache 2.0.
