Following the launch of Qwen3.6-Plus and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, we are excited to open-source Qwen3.6-27B — a dense 27-billion-parameter multimodal model at the scale the community has been asking for most. Still supporting both multimodal thinking and non-thinking modes, Qwen3.6-27B delivers flagship-level agentic coding performance, surpassing the previous-generation open-source flagship Qwen3.5-397B-A17B (397B total / 17B active MoE) across all major coding benchmarks. As a dense architecture, it is straightforward to deploy without MoE routing complexity, making it an ideal choice for developers who need top-tier coding capabilities at a practical, widely-deployable scale. Qwen3.6-27B is now live on Qwen Studio, available through our API, and released as open weights for the community. (View Highlight)
Below we present comprehensive evaluations of Qwen3.6-27B against both dense and MoE baselines, including our previous-generation open-source flagship Qwen3.5-397B-A17B. Qwen3.6-27B delivers remarkable improvements across agentic coding benchmarks, surpassing models with up to 15x its total parameter count. (View Highlight)
Qwen3.6-27B achieves a breakthrough in agentic coding for dense models. With only 27B parameters, it outperforms the Qwen3.5-397B-A17B (397B total / 17B active) on every major coding benchmark — including SWE-bench Verified (77.2 vs. 76.2), SWE-bench Pro (53.5 vs. 50.9), Terminal-Bench 2.0 (59.3 vs. 52.5), and SkillsBench (48.2 vs. 30.0). It also surpasses all peer-scale dense models by a wide margin. On reasoning tasks, Qwen3.6-27B achieves 87.8 on GPQA Diamond, competitive with models several times its size. (View Highlight)
Qwen3.6-27B is natively multimodal, supporting both vision-language thinking and non-thinking modes in a single unified checkpoint — the same as Qwen3.6-35B-A3B. It handles images and video alongside text, enabling multimodal reasoning, document understanding, and visual question answering. (View Highlight)
The model can be seamlessly integrated with popular third-party coding assistants, including OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Qwen Code, to streamline development workflows and enable efficient, context-aware coding experiences. (View Highlight)
