Qwen 3.6 35B A3B is Qwen's first open-weight release in the Qwen3.6 line, designed specifically around practical coding work. Its model card highlights frontend workflows, repository-level reasoning, and an option that preserves thinking from earlier messages for the next iteration. The hybrid MoE checkpoint activates 3 billion of its 35 billion parameters and handles images and video alongside text.

The native window is 262,144 tokens and can extend to roughly 1.01 million according to the manufacturer. The weights use Apache-2.0.
