Qwen3.5 · 35B A3B

Qwen3.5-35B-A3B is a causal language model with a vision encoder released under the Apache 2.0 license and distributed in Hugging Face Transformers format. It uses a hybrid architecture combining Gated Delta Networks and sparse Mixture-of-Experts, with 35B total parameters and 3B activated, a 2048 hidden dimension, 40 layers, and 256 experts (8 routed + 1 shared active). It supports image-text-to-text tasks, has a native context length of 262,144 tokens (extensible up to 1,010,000 tokens), and according to the model card supports 201 languages and dialects. The official card states compatibility with Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, and KTransformers, and notes a hosted variant (Qwen3.5-Flash) with additional production features.

Best for

  • Image-text-to-text tasks using the model's vision-language pipeline.
  • Multilingual text generation across the languages and dialects the model card states are supported.
  • Deployment via inference frameworks the model card lists as compatible (e.g., Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, KTransformers).
  • Use in Transformers-format workflows, as the repository provides weights and configuration files in that format.
  • Use in managed inference via the official Qwen API service provided by Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, as noted in the model card.

Tradeoffs

  • The supplied information does not provide hardware requirements such as memory or GPU specifications.
  • No license or compatibility details are stated beyond Apache-2.0 and the listed frameworks.
  • Performance figures are not provided in the source data beyond benchmark section headings.
  • No testing or validation of the model by the assistant is claimed or should be inferred.
  • The model card does not supply deployment instructions or configuration details for the listed frameworks beyond compatibility notes.
