Qwen3.5-4B

by Qwen Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B

Qwen3.5-4B is an open-weight model for image and text to text from Qwen, released under Apache License 2.0. It has 4.7B parameters and a 262,144-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 11.2 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 7.9M downloads a month.

Over recent months, we have intensified our focus on developing foundation models that deliver exceptional utility and performance.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Oct 16, 2026.

SAVRN's Notes on Qwen3.5-4B

4.7B parameters that read images and text over a 262,144-token window: 11.2 GB at 16-bit on the one 192 GB MI300X at $1.85 an hour that anchors our small-model pricing, 5.6 GB at 8-bit, 2.8 GB at 4-bit for several copies per card. Quantizing here is a packing choice, not a requirement. First published 2026-02-27; the hub records 7.4M downloads a month.

Apache 2.0 clears commercial use, fine-tuning and redistribution. It derives from Qwen3.5-4B-Base, and the page lists an official Qwen3.5-4B-GGUF plus community MLX 4-bit conversions for Apple silicon. Reported evaluations — GPQA Diamond 76.2, MMMU-Pro vision 66.3, MMLU-Pro 79.1 — are strong for the size, and the long derived list, from NuExtract3 to motion planners, shows how heavily the community fine-tunes this substrate.

Questions About Qwen3.5-4B

How much GPU memory does Qwen3.5-4B need?

About 11.2 GB at 16-bit and 2.8 GB at 4-bit: the weights (4.7B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run Qwen3.5-4B on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

Lodestar-4B

StartLux

Lodestar-4B is a 4-billion-parameter decision model. You give it a state (plain text, JSON or a long document) and one or more typed questions; it returns a probability for every listed option. Each answer is read from a single forward pass. The model never generates free text, so there is nothing to parse and no output length to budget for. (Probabilities rounded to three decimals.) The same call from Python, run inside the downloaded folder: A score question takes its levels as a list, lowest first, and returns {"type": "score", "score":, "probabilities": {"0": p0, "1": p1,...}}. Every question is rendered into one chat prompt (thinking disabled): The probability of each option is the…

h2o-lightning-4b

H2O.ai

H2O-Lightning-4B is a 4B-parameter decision model from H2O.ai, built on Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B. It answers typed decision questions about a record (a document, a ticket, a policy, a conversation) and about images that come with the record (photos, screenshots, scanned documents, charts). It returns a probability for every option: - yes/no (noul): gives the probability that a statement is true; It runs on unmodified vLLM 0.30.0 with a small standard-library shim in front (h2olightningshim.py). Each decision is one forward pass and one output token, so the cost is input tokens only.
