Model detail
qwen3.6-max-preview
Qwen3.6-Max-Preview is a proprietary frontier model from Alibaba Cloud built on a sparse mixture-of-experts architecture with approximately 1 trillion total parameters. It is optimized for agentic coding, tool use, and long-context reasoning, supporting a 262K token context window. The model includes an integrated thinking mode that preserves reasoning traces across multi-turn conversations and supports structured output and function calling. Access is available exclusively through the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio and Qwen Studio APIs; no open weights are provided.
