- deaux 6mo ago> we will also open-source smaller-scale variants In other words, like GP said, this Qwen3.6-Plus model is not open-weight unlike the other Qwen models.
- pferdone 6mo ago> unlike almost all qwen models Almost all means there have been ones before that were not open. So, no contradiction there.
- kennywinker 6mo ago> unlike the other Qwen models Please send the download link for qwen 3.5-plus. Also, who cares? If you have the hardware to run a ~400b model i don’t think you count as a home user anymore.
- dgb23 6mo agoIn a practical sense, I'm primarily interested in small to medium sized models being open. I think that might be common sentiment. However, my hope is that there will be at least somewhat competitive big and open models as well, from an ethical/ideological perspective. These things were trained on data that was provided by people without their consent, so they should at least be be publicly accessible or even public domain.
- thepasch 6mo agoQwen3.5-Plus is the largest variant of the open weight Qwen3.5 model, expanded with a 1M context window and fine-tuned on the Qwen-native harness’ specific tools.
- sroussey 6mo agoSo the Qwen3.6-Plus model is like the Qwen3.5-Plus model?
