Do you mean it's based on qwen 3.6 coder?


There is no "coder" version of Qwen 3.6; I think they just mean it's a coding-focused model of similar size and performance (to Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B).

Regular Qwen 3.6 benchmarks slightly better and has much wider software support though, so this is probably of interest only to organizations which disallow models trained in China.


I mean, Qwen 3.6 kicks ass. I don't know who these people are, but if their first outing is "not quite as good as Qwen 3.6", that's not a bad start by any means.

30B vs 35B isn't nothing either.

If it ends up just being some tweaks to someone else's weights, then meh.


It was trained from scratch by Cohere. They're the only Canadian AI lab - I'm glad they're releasing open weights and I wish them luck catching up!
