Qwen3.6 27B (Reasoning)

AlibabaQwenOpen WeightApache 2.0 · Commercial OK

Description

Qwen3.6-27B is a dense 27-billion-parameter multimodal model in the Qwen3.6 series, supporting both vision-language thinking and non-thinking modes in a single unified checkpoint. The 64-layer language model uses a hybrid layout of 16 repeats of (3 × Gated DeltaNet → FFN, 1 × Gated Attention → FFN) with hidden dim 5120 and FFN intermediate 17408 — Gated DeltaNet has 48/16 heads for V/QK (head dim 128) and Gated Attention has 24/4 heads for Q/KV (head dim 256). It supports a native 262,144-token context extensible to ~1,010,000 via YaRN and is trained with multi-token prediction. The release delivers flagship-level agentic coding, surpassing the previous-generation open-source flagship Qwen3.5-397B-A17B (397B total / 17B active) on every major coding benchmark including SWE-bench Verified (77.2), SWE-bench Pro (53.5), Terminal-Bench 2.0 (59.3), and SkillsBench (48.2), and reaches 87.8 on GPQA Diamond. Released as open weights under Apache 2.0; accessible via Qwen Studio with the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API coming soon.
