Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released March 2026262K context≈ 196,608 words

A quantized text model running at 4-bit precision, trading a small amount of numerical fidelity for significantly reduced memory footprint. It retains the core capabilities of the Qwen3.5 9B base while becoming more accessible on consumer hardware. The compression makes it practical for local deployment, though users may notice subtle quality differences compared to full-precision variants.

Glossary

4-bit PrecisionA quantization level where model weights are stored using only 4 bits per value, significantly reducing model size at the cost of some accuracy.Bit PrecisionThe number of bits used to represent each number in a model; lower bit precision (like 3-bit) means smaller file size but potentially less accurate calculations.FidelityThe degree to which a quantized or compressed model preserves the quality and accuracy of the original full-precision model.Full-PrecisionA model using standard 32-bit floating-point numbers to represent weights, providing maximum accuracy but requiring more memory.Local DeploymentRunning a model directly on your own computer or server instead of sending requests to a remote service.Memory FootprintThe amount of RAM or storage space a model requires to run, which is critical for deployment on resource-constrained devices.PrecisionThe level of numerical detail a model uses to represent its internal values; higher precision means more accurate calculations but requires more memory.QuantizedA technique that reduces a model's size and memory usage by storing weights with lower precision (fewer bits), trading some accuracy for efficiency.Text ModelA language model that processes and generates only text, without support for images, audio, or other media types.
