Qwen3.5 35B A3B

The Qwen3.5 35B A3B checkpoint is published by Alibaba for language and reasoning. Its weights are available under Apache 2.0; that alone does not establish that its code and all components are open source.

When to consider it

Compare it with the dense Qwen 27B checkpoint for coding; the published MoE design activates about 3B language parameters per token.

Check before choosing

Active parameters are not the weights to store. The full 35B weight count matters to the generic memory plan.

~35 GB generic Q4 planning memory. Formula: parameters × 0.625 bytes, plus 20% working allowance and 8 GB reserve. This is neither measured VRAM nor checkpoint download size.

Q4 planning estimate only. Check checkpoint format, runtime support, KV cache, context, batch size and offload before choosing hardware.

Evidence level: Generic estimate only; no execution reproduced by this site.

Before downloading

  1. Check the exact checkpoint and license linked here.
  2. Confirm a compatible runtime and precision or quantization for your platform.
  3. Allow for context, batch size and any extra media components beyond the weights.
