Alibaba's Tongyi open-source dense multimodal model Qwen 3.6-27B

Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen team has open-sourced Qwen3.6-27B, a dense multimodal model with 27 billion parameters. The model supports multimodal thinking and non-thinking modes, achieving a flagship-level breakthrough in agent programming capabilities, surpassing its predecessor, the open-source flagship Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, in major programming benchmarks such as SWE-bench and Terminal-Bench. As a dense architecture, the model can be deployed without MoE routing, facilitating wider adoption.
