BlockBeats News, March 3rd, Alibaba's AI model Qwen announced the launch of the Qwen 3.5 Small Model Series: Qwen3.5-0.8B, Qwen3.5-2B, Qwen3.5-4B, Qwen3.5-9B. These small models are built on the same Qwen3.5 technology architecture—native multimodal, improved architecture, and scaled reinforcement learning:
· 0.8B / 2B: Small in size, fast in speed, suitable for edge devices;
· 4B: A multimodal foundational model for lightweight intelligent agents, with outstanding performance;
· 9B: Compact but progressively closing the performance gap with larger models.
Elon Musk publicly praised Alibaba's Qwen model as having "impressive intelligence density".
