Qwen3.5-9B
A mid-size Qwen model for text and images. Larger than the 4B sibling, still in desktop range on a 4-bit estimate.
Freshness uses the repository open date. This record is 247 days old, opened 2026-02-27. Popularity uses 6,564,998 downloads and 2,284 likes listed by Hugging Face. Checked 2026-11-01. Neither number grades answers. Formulas.
Hugging Face reports 19.3 GB of storage for the whole repository. That figure can include several packs, so the fit table does not use it as the size of one file.
Will it fit?
Save a machine on the hardware page and this block fills in. The table already has the sizes.
| Pack | Size | Saved machine |
|---|---|---|
| Weight shards summed | 19.3 GB weights + 3.5 GB allowance. File: 4 shard files in the repository root. | Choose a machine |
| Q4 estimate | 5.3 GB weights + 3.5 GB allowance. | Choose a machine |
| Q8 estimate | 10.1 GB weights + 3.5 GB allowance. | Choose a machine |
| FP16 estimate | 19.3 GB weights + 3.5 GB allowance. | Choose a machine |
Estimate rows use the parameter count. A measured row names a file in the repository. The allowance is fixed: it stands in for context or activations, and it is not a measurement from a run.
How to run it
Vision models take images as well as text, so the allowance on the fit row is larger than a text-only model of the same parameter count. Start from the publisher repository and confirm which file is the checkpoint.

This directory is assembled from public model records. Freshness is age. Popularity is downloads and likes. A fit figure is an estimate from a parameter count or from a published file size, not a run on our hardware. How the numbers are made. AI disclosure.
