In plain words

Qwen3.5 is an open-weight vision-language model designed for agentic tasks that require reasoning over long sequences. It combines linear attention with mixture-of-experts architecture to provide the reasoning capabilities of a 397-billion-parameter model while maintaining inference speeds comparable to a 17-billion-parameter model. The system handles both text and images natively, making it suitable for developers building autonomous AI agents.

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
