Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model

Alibaba open-sources Qwen3.6-27B, a dense 27-billion-parameter multimodal model that supports both thinking and non-thinking modes and delivers flagship-level agentic coding performance, surpassing the previous-generation open-source flagship Qwen3.5-397B-A17B across all major coding benchmarks.

From the source
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.
