Qwen3.5 9B

The Qwen3.5 9B 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

Start here when you want a smaller language checkpoint for text or reasoning and need to plan around limited memory.

Check before choosing

For image or video input, verify the extra components and multimodal runtime. The language-weight estimate does not include them.

Run locally: known and unknown

~15 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.
