🚀Qwen3.5-397B-A17B: Open-Weight, Multimodal, Agent-Ready Alibaba’s Qwen team just released the first open-weight model in the Qwen3.5 series built specifically for real-world AI agents. What stands out: • Native multimodal, text + image understanding out of the box • Hybrid linear attention + sparse MoE architecture • Large-scale RL environment scaling • 8.6x–19.0x faster decoding vs Qwen3-Max • Supports 201 languages & dialects • Apache 2.0 license Open weights + high throughput + permissive licensing = serious pressure on closed model providers.
