Qwen 3.5 9B
A 9-billion-parameter language model in Alibaba's Qwen (Tongyi Qianwen) series, supporting local deployment and designed for scenarios with consumer-grade VRAM constraints.

Moss Image uses Qwen 3.5 9B, whose parameter count is far larger than the diffusion model itself, as its text encoder.
In MOS Image's ComfyUI configuration, Qwen 3.5 9B can be selected as the text encoder and Flux 2.0 VAE as the VAE.
PewDiePie's Ajax project is a fine-tuned Qwen 3.5 9B model; the reason for fine-tuning was that after switching to the local Qwen 9B, the agent's tool calls often failed or the wrong tool was selected.
On Bespoke Labs' leakage-level evaluation, Nimble reaches 90.12, while its base model Qwen 3.5 9B scores only 66.36.
Qwen 3.5 9B (Q6_K) output at approximately 168 tok/s, faster than Bonsai 2 27B's 101 tok/s.
The author subjectively rated Bonsai's pagoda scene as having the richest detail and leading quality, with Gemma 4 coming second, and Qwen 3.5 9B producing broken output.
Qwen 3.5 9B is a mid-parameter version of Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen, and its 9B parameter count allows it to run on a single consumer-grade GPU.
CrofAI's so-called proprietary greg series models were actually routed to other models: greg-2-ultra routed to GLM 5.2, greg-1-mini routed to Qwen 3.5 9B, and greg-2-super/greg-1/greg-1-super routed to Kimi K2.7 Code.
Popular choices in the 9B-parameter small model market include Gemma 4 12B, Qwen 3.5 9B, and Ornith 1.5 9B.
A fine-tuned version based on Qwen 3.5 9B called Emperios 3.8 distill has appeared in the community.
