Alibaba's new mid-size Qwen models punch way above their weight
Alibaba just dropped its Qwen 3.5 Medium series, featuring four models including Qwen3.5-Flash, 35B-A3B, 122B-A10B, and 27B. The team claims the 35B-A3B model outperforms the previous-generation 235B giant, proving architecture and RL can beat raw parameter scale. The Flash version also brings a default 1M context window and built-in agent tooling.
