Qwen 3.5
Alibaba's previous multilingual model — superseded by Qwen 3.8 Max
Verdict
Still fine for lightweight multilingual work at 9B–72B sizes with permissive licensing, but Qwen 3.8 Max is a generational jump in both scale and multimodality. Pick 3.8 Max for new projects unless you specifically need Qwen 3.5's smaller, self-hostable sizes.
