Alibaba (09988) to launch new generation model Qwen3.5 soon.

According to reports, the latest release Qwen3.5 has been included in the new PR (pull request) for Transformers on the open-source project page of HuggingFace, the world's largest artificial intelligence (AI) open-source community. Industry insiders speculate that Alibaba (09988) is about to release the new generation base model Qwen3.5. Relevant information reveals that Qwen3.5 uses a new hybrid attention mechanism, and is highly likely to be a VLM-class model that can natively achieve visual understanding. Some developers have further discovered that Qwen3.5 may open source at least 2B dense models and 35B-A3B MoE models. Earlier, the technology news website The Information revealed that Qwen3.5 will be open-sourced during the Chinese New Year. On April 29, 2025, Alibaba released the new generation Qwen3 model, which immediately became the world's strongest open-source model. This is the first "hybrid reasoning model" in China, integrating "fast thinking" and "slow thinking" into the same model, greatly reducing computational power consumption.
