Why the edge:
- Reach, Qwen3.5-9B +30: Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 55 (Memory 10, Alibaba's only build is the BF16 safetensors, 69.32 GB, and 69.32 GB × 1.2 = 83.2 GB, above 64 GB and inside the reference machine's GPU share.); Qwen3.5-9B 85 (Memory 30, Qwen publishes no quantised 9B, so the smallest 4-bit build from a runtime's own library is Ollama's qwen3.5:9b at 6.6 GB, about 7.9 GB with the fift…)
- Agent interface, Qwen3.5-9B +20: Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 50 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, the same as the template in tokenizer_config.json.); Qwen3.5-9B 70 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B +7: Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 41 (Model card 11, the card gives intended use (simulating agent environments), architecture, parameters and context length.); Qwen3.5-9B 34 (Model card 14, it covers intended use, architecture, parameters, context and 201 languages but gives no limitations and no knowledge cut-off.)
