About this model

Qwen 3.5 9B is the sweet spot of the small Qwen 3.5 lineup — strong at coding, math, reasoning, and vision tasks while staying under 8 GB VRAM at Q4. It supports dual thinking modes for flexible speed/quality tradeoffs. A great all-rounder for 12-16 GB GPUs or 16 GB Macs where you want multimodal capability without heavy resource requirements.
