In other words, like GP said, this Qwen3.6-Plus model is not open-weight unlike the other Qwen models.
Almost all means there have been ones before that were not open. So, no contradiction there.
Please send the download link for qwen 3.5-plus.
Also, who cares? If you have the hardware to run a ~400b model i don’t think you count as a home user anymore.
However, my hope is that there will be at least somewhat competitive big and open models as well, from an ethical/ideological perspective. These things were trained on data that was provided by people without their consent, so they should at least be be publicly accessible or even public domain.
