Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is an open-weight multimodal model from Alibaba Cloud with 35 billion total parameters and 3 billion active parameters per token. It uses a hybrid sparse mixture-of-experts architecture combining Gated DeltaNet linear attention with standard gated attention layers, enabling efficient inference at a fraction of the compute cost. The model supports a 262K token native context window (extensible to 1M via YaRN) and accepts text, image, and video inputs. It includes integrated thinking mode with reasoning traces preserved across multi-turn conversations, function calling, and structured output. Released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Sample code and API for Qwen3.6 35B A3B

OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.

OpenRouter supports reasoning-enabled models that can show their step-by-step thinking process. Use the reasoning parameter in your request to enable reasoning, and access the reasoning_details array in the response to see the model's internal reasoning before the final answer. When continuing a conversation, preserve the complete reasoning_details when passing messages back to the model so it can continue reasoning from where it left off. Learn more about reasoning tokens.

In the examples below, the OpenRouter-specific headers are optional. Setting them allows your app to appear on the OpenRouter leaderboards.
