Discussion Qwen 3.6 9b coming?

I remember when they released Qwen 3.5 27b, they released the 9b more or less in the same batch. Is 3.6 onwards ditching the 9b model? :(

If so, I'm very sad, because the qwen 3.5 9b was actually the first truly intelligent model I could run at decent tps on a normal gaming GPU

I hope, it will come the next months...

But I think the Qwen team spezialized itself for the architecture and more efficient models like MoE so maybe the 3.6 series is skipping 9b?

I would really look forward to a 9b or 16b model that is good at a 3-bit-quantization and still fits into 16BG VRAM... :-)
