Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B

by Alibaba

Qwen3.6 35B-A3B is a multimodal model built on a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 35 billion total parameters and 3 billion activated per token, combining Gated DeltaNet and attention layers across 256 experts (8 routed plus 1 shared). It handles text, image, and video with a 262,144 token native context window, extensible toward roughly one million tokens with YaRN scaling. Reported scores include SWE-bench Verified 73.4, MMLU-Pro 85.2, Terminal-Bench 2.0 51.5, RealWorldQA 85.3, and MMBench 92.8. It runs in thinking mode by default and can retain reasoning context across turns for iterative development. The model is well suited to agentic workflows and repository-level code reasoning that combine tool calling with multimodal understanding.
