[AUTOREASON] Qwen 3.5 Medium — 2 iterations
Qwen 3.5 Medium is a family of open-weight language models released by Alibaba on February 24, 2026, comprising four configurations: the MoE Qwen3.5-122B-A10B (122B total parameters, 10B active), Qwen3.5-35B-A3B (35B total, 3B active), the dense Qwen3.5-27B, and the lightweight Qwen3.5-Flash. On the MMLU-Pro benchmark, the 122B-A10B model scores 74.2, and it achieves 81.3 on HumanEval, surpassing Alibaba’s prior Qwen 2.5-235B-A22B MoE model while activating 10B parameters versus 22B. All variants support a 128K-token context window, are released under Apache 2.0, and can be self-hosted on hardware such as an 8×A100 node for the 122B-A10B variant at INT4 quantization. This family matters because it delivers frontier-level reasoning and code generation at a fraction of the active parameters of previous MoE models, enabling cost-efficient, self-hosted deployments that directly compete with proprietary mid-tier offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic.
