Qwen3.6 rollout leaves sequel sizes unconfirmed

As of April 2026, Qwen has publicly released Qwen3.6-Plus, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, and Qwen3.6-27B, but there is no official confirmation yet of 9B, 122B, or 397B follow-ons. Qwen3.5 explicitly said more sizes were coming before later variants arrived, while Qwen3.6's repo and release posts do not include the same roadmap note.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: if you’re reading tea leaves, Qwen is still pacing releases rather than declaring the family finished, but there is no public evidence that the missing 3.6 sizes are scheduled.

  • The official Qwen3.6 repo README lists Qwen3.6-Plus, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, and Qwen3.6-27B, with no 9B, 122B, or 397B entry as of the April 2026 updates. Source: https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3.6/blob/main/README.md
  • Qwen3.6-35B-A3B was announced on 2026-04-15, and Qwen3.6-27B followed on 2026-04-22, which shows the line was rolled out in stages rather than all at once. Sources: https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.6-35b-a3b and https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.6-27b
  • The clearest contrast is Qwen3.5: its official release note said “More sizes are coming,” and the later 122B, 35B, 27B, 9B, 4B, 2B, and 0.8B variants did arrive afterward. Source: https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3.6/blob/main/README.md
  • I did not find any official post saying “this is it” for Qwen3.6, so the honest answer is “no confirmation either way.”
