Qwen3.6-27B

by Qwen Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B

Qwen3.6-27B is an open-weight model for image and text to text from Qwen, released under Apache License 2.0. It has 27.8B parameters and a 262,144-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 66.7 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 2.3M downloads a month.

Following the February release of the Qwen3.5 series, we're pleased to share the first open-weight variant of Qwen3.6.

Runs On

What it takes to serve Qwen3.6-27B (27.8B parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

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 Qwen3.6-27B

Two Index hosts sell this one by the token, so the rent-or-own math is explicit: DeepInfra at $0.32 in and $3.20 out per million tokens, OVHcloud at $0.47 and $3.19, against one MI300X at $1.85 an hour that holds the full 16-bit working set of 66.7 GB — or 16.7 GB at 4-bit, leaving most of the 192 GB for the 262,144-token context. Third-party-reported evals top its MoE sibling on this list: 87.8 GPQA-diamond, 94.1 AIME 2026, 77.2 SWE-bench Verified.

Apache 2.0 permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, notices kept and changes stated, so a fine-tune is yours to ship. One naming trap: the configuration architecture reads Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration with model type qwen3_5 despite the 3.6 name — confirm your serving stack loads it before committing. No base model or paper is on record. Dense 27.8B parameters, image-and-text in, text out, released April 2026.

[!Note] This repository contains model weights and configuration files for the post-trained model in the Hugging Face Transformers format.

These artifacts are compatible with Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, KTransformers, etc.

Following the February release of the Qwen3.5 series, we're pleased to share the first open-weight variant of Qwen3.6. Built on direct feedback from the community, Qwen3.6 prioritizes stability and real-world utility, offering developers a more intuitive, responsive, and genuinely productive coding experience.

Qwen3.6 Highlights

This release delivers substantial upgrades, particularly in

  • Agentic Coding: the model now handles frontend workflows and repository-level reasoning with greater fluency and precision.
  • Thinking Preservation: we've introduced a new option to retain reasoning context from historical messages, streamlining iterative development and reducing overhead.

The benchmark. ERQA (Embodied Reasoning Question Answering) is the benchmark Google DeepMind released with Gemini Robotics (March 2025) to measure whether a vision-language model understands the physical world a robot acts in. It has 400 multiple-choice questions about real robot and everyday scenes, with 1–16 images per question (287 questions have one image). 382 questions have 4 options and the rest 2–3, so chance is about 26%. ERQA is one of the standard embodied-reasoning benchmarks; Gemini Robotics-ER, PhysBrain and Hy-Embodied report it. With 400 questions the 95% interval of a score is about ±5 points. How we test.

This model has had its safety alignment substantially removed via abliteration (orthogonalizing the refusal direction out of the residual stream). As a direct consequence: - It will comply with harmful, unethical, offensive, or illegal requests that the original Qwen3.8-27B would refuse. It has no meaningful built-in guardrails. - It is released strictly for legitimate research — interpretability, AI-safety and refusal-mechanism study, red-teaming, robustness evaluation, and controlled experiments. - You assume full responsibility and liability for how you use it and for everything it generates. Do not deploy it to end users or in production without adding your own safety, moderation, and…
