Qwen: Qwen3.5 Plus 2026-04-20

Qwen3.5 Plus (April 2026) is a large-scale multimodal language model from Alibaba. It accepts text, image, and video input and produces text output, with a 1M token context window. This is an updated version of Qwen3.5 Plus with tiered pricing above 256K tokens.

Qwen: Qwen3.6 35B A3B

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is an open-weight multimodal model from Alibaba Cloud with 35 billion total parameters and 3 billion active parameters per token. It uses a hybrid sparse mixture-of-experts architecture combining Gated DeltaNet linear attention with standard gated attention layers, enabling efficient inference at a fraction of the compute cost. The model supports a 262K token native context window (extensible to 1M via YaRN) and accepts text, image, and video inputs. It includes integrated thinking mode with reasoning traces preserved across multi-turn conversations, function calling, and structured output. Released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Qwen: Qwen3.6 27B

Qwen3.6 27B is a dense 27-billion-parameter language model from the Qwen Team at Alibaba, released in April 2026. It features hybrid multimodal capabilities, accepting text, image, and video inputs, and supports a 262,144-token context window. The model is designed for agentic coding and reasoning tasks, with particular strength in repository-level code comprehension, front-end development workflows, and multi-step problem solving. It includes a built-in thinking mode for extended reasoning and preserves thinking context across conversation history. Qwen3.6 27B supports 201 languages and dialects and is released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Qwen: Qwen3.6 Max Preview

Qwen3.6-Max-Preview is a proprietary frontier model from Alibaba Cloud built on a sparse mixture-of-experts architecture with approximately 1 trillion total parameters. It is optimized for agentic coding, tool use, and long-context reasoning, supporting a 262K token context window. The model includes an integrated thinking mode that preserves reasoning traces across multi-turn conversations and supports structured output and function calling. Access is available exclusively through the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio and Qwen Studio APIs; no open weights are provided.

Qwen: Qwen3.6 Plus Preview (free)

Qwen 3.6 Plus Preview is the next-generation evolution of the Qwen Plus series, featuring an advanced hybrid architecture that improves efficiency and scalability. It delivers stronger reasoning and more reliable agentic behavior compared to the 3.5 series. Designed as a flagship preview, it excels in agentic coding, front-end development, and complex problem-solving. Free tier on OpenRouter. Note: The model collects prompt and completion data.

Qwen3 Coder Next

Qwen3-Coder-Next is an open-weight causal language model optimized for coding agents and local development workflows. It uses a sparse MoE design with 80B total parameters and only 3B activated per token, delivering performance comparable to models with 10 to 20x higher active compute. Operates exclusively in non-thinking mode for streamlined integration.
