Qwen3.5 represents a significant leap forward, integrating breakthroughs in multimodal learning, architectural efficiency, reinforcement learning scale, and global accessibility to empower developers and enterprises with unprecedented capability and efficiency. ## Qwen3.5 Highlights Qwen3.5 features the following enhancement: - **Unified Vision-Language Foundation**: Early fusion training on multimodal tokens achieves cross-generational parity with Qwen3 and outperforms Qwen3-VL models across reasoning, coding, agents, and visual understanding benchmarks. - **Efficient Hybrid Architecture**: Gated Delta Networks combined with sparse Mixture-of-Experts deliver high-throughput inference with minimal latency and cost overhead. - **Scalable RL Generalization**: Reinforcement learning scaled across million-agent environments with progressively complex task distributions for robust real-world adaptability. - **Global Linguistic Coverage**: Expanded support to 201 languages and dialects, enabling inclusive, worldwide deployment with nuanced cultural and regional understanding. - **Next-Generation Training Infrastructure**: Near-100% multimodal training efficiency compared to text-only training and asynchronous RL frameworks supporting massive-scale agent scaffolds and environment orchestration.

For streamlined integration, we recommend using Qwen3.5 via APIs. Below is a guide to use Qwen3.5 via OpenAI-compatible API. ### Serving Qwen3.5 Qwen3.5 can be served via APIs with popular inference frameworks. In the following, we show example commands to launch OpenAI-Compatible API servers for Qwen3.5 models. > [!Important] > Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks. > We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. > For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, KTransformers or vLLM are strongly recommended. > [!Important] > The model has a default context length of 262,144 tokens. > If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) errors, consider reducing the context window. > However, because Qwen3.5 leverages extended context for complex tasks, we advise maintaining a context length of at least 128K tokens to preserve thinking capabilities. #### SGLang [SGLang](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang) is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models. SGLang from the main branch of the open-source repository is required for Qwen3.5, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment: ```shell uv pip install 'git+https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git#subdirectory=python&egg=sglang[all]' ``` See [its documentation](https://docs.sglang.ai/get_started/install.html) for more details. The following will create API endpoints at `http://localhost:8000/v1`: - **Standard Version**: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs. ```shell python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 ``` - **Tool Use**: To support tool use, you can use the following command. ```shell python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder ``` - **Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)**: The following command is recommended for MTP: ```shell python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --speculative-algo NEXTN --speculative-num-steps 3 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4 ``` #### vLLM [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs. vLLM from the main branch of the open-source repository is required for Qwen3.5, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment: ```shell uv pip install vllm --torch-backend=auto --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly ``` See [its documentation](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/getting_started/installation/index.html) for more details. For detailed Qwen3.5 usage guide, see the [vLLM Qwen3.5 recipe](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/recipes/en/latest/Qwen/Qwen3.5.html). The following will create API endpoints at `http://localhost:8000/v1`: - **Standard Version**: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs. ```shell vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 ``` - **Tool Call**: To support tool use, you can use the following command. ```shell vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder ``` - **Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)**: The following command is recommended for MTP: ```shell vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --speculative-config '{"method":"qwen3_next_mtp","num_speculative_tokens":2}' ``` - **Text-Only**: The following command skips the vision encoder...
