Qwen3.5 Small

0.8B-9B native multimodal w/ more intelligence, less compute

Qwen3.5 Small launched on March 3, 2026 with 355 votes, #57 of 23,380 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Qwen3.5 Small is a series of lightweight language models ranging from 0.8B to 9B parameters that support both text and image inputs. Designed for efficient performance, the smaller variants are optimized for edge devices and fast inference, while the 9B model competes with significantly larger models. The series features improved architecture and reinforcement learning techniques. Both base and fine-tuned versions are available as open-source options.

From the sources

Qwen just released the Qwen3.5 Small Model Series — 0.8B, 2B, 4B and 9B. Native multimodal with improved architecture and scaled RL. 0.8B and 2B are tiny and fast for edge devices, 4B makes a strong lightweight agent base, and 9B is already closing the gap with much larger models. Base versions released too.

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
