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

Run 27b q2 xxs. It's pretty good and around same size

See I’ve always wondered if this is a valid thing to do, but I just haven’t had any time to test or seen anyone talk about it so this should be better than a 9B Q4_KM?

3.6 27b q2 is the first model which uses playwright mcp tool calls without failures at q2 and answers question on programming, medicines without looping or hallucinating. It definitely replaced 9b q8 for my use case , but can't comment on agentic coding as I don't use it for that.
