Qwen3.6 9B will release around Google I/O?

Posted by BothYou243@reddit | LocalLLaMA | View on Reddit | 20 comments

I don't think alibaba officially stated about "no qwen3.6 smaller models", and according to the patterns, she should ave been released it in the first week of may, but I think they delayed a little bit to catch the spotlight from Google I/O, as maybe google is preping to advertise more about new gemma?

what do you guys think?

and I am eagerly waiting for qwen3.6 9B, as I don't think qwen3.6 27B at lower quant (2bit) is good for mac mini m4 (16GB variant)

I think they've moved on from 3.6. If we're lucky we'll get some 3.7 models in a month or so.

3.7 petabyte HDDs needed.

Is there a public roadmap for new versions?

Nope. Everything people say here about Qwen is based on vibes and a tweet or two.

Could be. They already released the 2 popular sizes. I'd hope they'd release the smaller ones too, but it could well be that with limited compute, they might focus on the next generation instead.
