About

Qwen3.6-Max-Preview is a proprietary frontier model from Alibaba built on a sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with approximately 1 trillion total parameters. It is optimized for agentic coding, tool use, and long-context reasoning, with a 262K token context window. The model reports top scores across several coding benchmarks, including SWE-bench Pro, Terminal-Bench 2.0, and SciCode, and an AA Intelligence Index score of 52. It includes an integrated thinking mode that preserves reasoning traces across multi-turn conversations and supports structured output and function calling. No open weights are provided.
