Lineage

The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

Qwen3.6-27B ranks #108 of 226 on the public leaderboard with a score of 48.57/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.

Qwen3.6-27B is a open weight model with a 262K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Official exact-value snapshot from the Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B Hugging Face model card. The public repository and FP8 checkpoint were created on April 21, 2026, and the model card states a native 262,144-token context window extensible to 1,010,000 tokens.

40 of 686 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Mathematics at #8, while its lowest eligible position is Agentic at #97. particularly strong for mathematical reasoning, scientific computing, and quantitative analysis.

Last updated October 19, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.

Qwen3.6-27B ranks #39 out of 55 eligible models for multimodal and grounded tasks, with a public category score of 67.3/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Qwen3.6-27B open source?

Qwen3.6-27B is an open-weight model from Alibaba. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Does Qwen3.6-27B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Qwen3.6-27B currently has 56 source-displayable rows across 686 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of Qwen3.6-27B?

Qwen3.6-27B has a reported context window of 262K in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.
