Handles text and image input with a 4B hybrid model that supports 201 languages and dialects and a 262,144-token context. For developers running small open weights in transformers, vLLM or SGLang. Qwen3.5-4B is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by Qwen ## About ### What it is Qwen3.5-4B is a small multimodal language model from Qwen, a causal language model with a vision encoder. It reads text and images. The card says it uses an efficient hybrid architecture and supports 201 languages and dialects. This repository holds the post-trained weights in Hugging Face Transformers format. ### Who it suits It suits developers who want a small open-weight model for text and image tasks on modest hardware, and teams that need wide language coverage. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Software | Developers | Run a small multimodal model locally | Answer questions about a screenshot | | Localization | Global teams | Use one model across many languages and dialects | Draft replies in several languages | | Research | Teams comparing small models | Check it against the card's benchmark tables | Compare it with Qwen3.5-9B | People who need the largest model quality can skip it, since this is the 4B member of the family. ### Where to use it - Hugging Face Transformers, in the format the repository holds - vLLM, SGLang and KTransformers, which the card says the files work with - Windows, macOS or Linux, where you can download the files with Python | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Text and image questions | Developers | Answers that use both words and pictures | | Multilingual chat | Global teams | Replies across 201 languages and dialects | | Long documents | Analysts | A context window of 262,144 tokens, extensible to 1,010,000 | ### How to set it up You need these first: - Python and the huggingface\_hub package - Room for the weights, about 9.3 GB in BF16 or about 2.3 GB at 4-bit as an estimate - One of the engines the card names, such as Transformers, vLLM or SGLang 1. Install the Hugging Face hub package. 2. Download the model files to your computer. 3. Load them in Transformers, vLLM, SGLang or KTransformers. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B ``` ### How to use it Download the files, load them in one of the engines the card names, then chat with the model, with images if you like. The card text here has no run commands, so follow its model card for the exact calls. ### Example A developer could load the model in Transformers and ask it a question about an image together with a short text prompt. The model reads both and answers in text. ### For newcomers and experts This is a small model that reads text and pictures. Its files are light enough for a good first try, and a quantized copy is smaller still, since Hugging Face lists 640 of them from other people. The card describes 32 layers laid out as eight repeats of three Gated DeltaNet blocks and one Gated Attention block, each followed by a feed-forward network. The hidden dimension is 2560, and the vocabulary entry is tied to the output. Multi-token prediction was trained in several steps. The card says training scaled reinforcement learning across million-agent environments. Download the weights with hf → Load them in a supported engine → Send text or an image with a prompt → Read the reply ### Good to know - Size: 4.7B parameters per Hugging Face, about 9.3 GB in BF16 and about 2.3 GB at 4-bit, as an estimate - Versions: Hugging Face lists 640 quantized and 1,359 fine-tuned versions made by other people - Languages: the card lists 201 languages and dialects Context length in tokens | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | Native | 262,144 tokens | | Extended | 1,010,000 tokens | - License: apache-2.0 - Cost to run: none named, no API key or account - Data it reaches: it downloads model files from Hugging Face, and the card text names no other service or account ## README ````markdown # Qwen3.5-4B Handles text and image input with a 4B hybrid model that supports 201 languages and dialects and a 262,144-token context.
