How smart is Qwen 3.5 Flash (hosted 35B-A3B)?

Qwen 3.5 Flash (hosted 35B-A3B) is a model from Alibaba, released on Feb 25, 2026. Its SI-IQ is 107 (90% interval 103–111), estimated from 6 benchmark results by 1 evaluator.

Data as of Oct 18, 2026 · method 1.0.0

A model is ranked when its results come from at least 5 benchmarks (the two GPQA Diamond runs count as one) in at least 3 areas, from at least 2 different evaluators, and its versions are released no more than 60 days apart. This model does not meet that yet (results from fewer than 2 evaluators). Its provisional estimate rests on 6 benchmark results and can change a lot when more results arrive.

Every benchmark result we used

Each score is one value exactly as the source published it: for Epoch AI the best of its run settings, for OpenRouter the median hosting provider (the developer's own hosting when it ran the test). “Implied SI-IQ” is the ability that this single result points to; the overall SI-IQ is their precision-weighted average.

Human preference (Arena)

On the Arena leaderboard, where people vote between two anonymous answers, Qwen 3.5 Flash (hosted 35B-A3B) has a rating of 1,396 (1,392–1,400) from 61,802 votes (published Oct 15, 2026). Human preference is a different measure from benchmark ability and is not part of SI-IQ. Arena (Hugging Face)
