Public-source support evidence

Qwen3.5-9B

Qwen3.5-9B is listed for local download in Ollama. A separately observed community Q4_K_M GGUF gives an estimated memory budget of about 9 GB (text weights only); actual use depends on runtime and context settings.

Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B

Qwen3.5-9B is a image text to text model published by Qwen on Hugging Face. We have not written a summary yet; see the model card ↗

MEMORY ESTIMATES

Which file should I grab?

16 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

Q8_0 · 9.8 GB observed ↗

Observed artifact size plus 20% headroom and 1.5 GB runtime allowance. Fit is an estimate; compatibility, speed, context length and hardware have not been tested. This estimates text weights only; vision projector and total vision memory are unknown.

24 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

Q8_0 · 9.8 GB observed ↗

Observed artifact size plus 20% headroom and 1.5 GB runtime allowance. Fit is an estimate; compatibility, speed, context length and hardware have not been tested. This estimates text weights only; vision projector and total vision memory are unknown.

32 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

Q8_0 · 9.8 GB observed ↗

Observed artifact size plus 20% headroom and 1.5 GB runtime allowance. Fit is an estimate; compatibility, speed, context length and hardware have not been tested. This estimates text weights only; vision projector and total vision memory are unknown.

128 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

Q8_0 · 9.8 GB observed ↗

Observed artifact size plus 20% headroom and 1.5 GB runtime allowance. Fit is an estimate; compatibility, speed, context length and hardware have not been tested. This estimates text weights only; vision projector and total vision memory are unknown.

Memory estimates are the observed file size plus fixed headroom (20% plus 1.5 GB runtime allowance); real needs also depend on context length, KV cache and runtime settings. Fit is an estimate; it does not establish runtime compatibility, speed, context length, or hardware performance. Text-weights-only estimates do not include a projector or total vision memory where unknown.

Terms: a quant is a lower-precision version of the weights; GGUF is a file format used by llama.cpp and compatible apps; MLX targets Apple silicon; vLLM is a model-serving engine for NVIDIA GPUs; the KV cache is stored attention state that grows with context length. Terms explained ↗
