The small model series for Qwen3.5 just dropped. If you want to run a local LLM, this is exciting because: → the Qwen3.5-9B model is small enough to run on an entry level Mac Mini → it outperforms larger models like GPT-OSS 20B & 120B And they will only get better from here.

🚀 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: ModelScope:
