An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.
Other Reported Results
These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

SAVRN's Notes on Qwen3.5-4B
A 262,144-token window on a 4.7B model shapes everything else here. It is built on Qwen3.5-4B-Base and reads images as well as text. At 16-bit it needs 11.2 GB to run, so on the cheapest setup we list, one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour on demand, quantizing is a choice, not a requirement; 4-bit brings it to 2.8 GB for several copies on one card.
Apache 2.0 means you can run it commercially, fine-tune it and redistribute what you make, as long as the license and any NOTICE file stay attached and you state significant changes, with a patent grant included. Before committing, run the window length you intend to use and measure memory there; 11.2 GB is the entry ticket, not the ceiling. Released February 27, 2026, it is young; check the publisher's page for revisions before you freeze a version.
SAVRN's Notes on Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct
Feed it an image and a question and it answers in text. At 4.4B parameters the memory figures put it on shared hardware: 2.7 GB needed at 4-bit, 5.3 GB at 8-bit, 10.7 GB for the full 16-bit weights. The cheapest Index setup is one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour on-demand, a price set by the card rather than the model, so a single copy leaves most of that card idle.
Apache 2.0 permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, so a fine-tuned version can ship inside a product if the license and copyright notices travel with it and significant changes are stated. Confirm the 262,144-token context length, the ceiling on how much image and text goes into one request, and check that the files you receive match the October 11, 2025 release. Four linked technical reports carry the lineage back to the Qwen-VL paper.
