Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL

[!Note] This repository contains SWQ-quantized weights for Qwen3.5-2B. Serving requires vLLM with the Surogate plugin; see the SWQ section below.

SWQ — Surogate Whole-model Quantization

This repository is an SWQ build of Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B: 5.8357 bits per parameter over the whole model (1.61 GB of tensors) at FP8-level task quality. The rate charges every serialized byte — Gated DeltaNet projections, attention, MLPs, embedding, and LM head are all quantized; nothing is excluded from the accounting.

	bits/param	HellaSwag gold NLL	Raw acc	Norm acc
BF16 original	16.0	2.45303	42.58%	60.16%
FP8	≈8	2.45821	42.58%	60.16%
This model	5.8357	2.46819	44.14%	59.77%

Acceptance gate: EvalScope 1.9.1 HellaSwag likelihood — the same 256 examples (selection seed 20260805) and 7,784 scored continuation tokens for every row, measured through vLLM with identical settings. NLL deltas below 0.01 are within run-to-run noise.

Codec — the language model carries the flat asymmetric group-128 GPTQ quantization of surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate bit-for-bit (ILP mix INT6:50/INT5:29/INT4:15/INT3:2, INT5 tied head); the vision tower is kept at fixed INT8. MTP heads are removed.

Serving — vLLM with the Surogate package installed; its vLLM plugin registers the format (quant_method: surogate_slq) automatically:

vllm serve surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL

Weights convert to Marlin tensor-core formats at load; language-path throughput matches the text-only build (337 / 7,017 tok/s at c1/c32 on an RTX 5090). Vision serves through stock vLLM (Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration); pass --language-model-only to skip the vision tower. Hugging Face Transformers, SGLang, and KTransformers cannot load the SWQ format; runtime sections below inherited from the original model card apply to vLLM only.

For text-only workloads the smaller surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate build is preferred.

SWQ descends from GPTQ-style Hessian-compensated rounding and the statistically-lossless framing of arXiv:2605.02404, and diverges through whole-model rate accounting, a K-quant-style hierarchical codec, task-gated acceptance against paired BF16/FP8 controls, and a Marlin tensor-core serving path. Recipe and experiment history: github.com/invergent-ai/surogate.

Over recent months, we have intensified our focus on developing foundation models that deliver exceptional utility and performance. Qwen3.5 represents a significant leap forward, integrating breakthroughs in multimodal learning, architectural efficiency, reinforcement learning scale, and global accessibility to empower developers and enterprises with unprecedented capability and efficiency.

Qwen3.5 Highlights

* Scores of Qwen3.5 models are reported as Thinking / Non-thinking.
* MathVision: our model’s score is evaluated using a fixed prompt, e.g., “Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \boxed{}.” For other models, we report the higher score between runs with and without the \boxed{} formatting.
* Experimental settings: For the Video benchmarks, we used top_p=0.95, top_k=20, presence_penalty=1.5, and temperature=1.0. All other benchmarks adopted the same hyperparameter configuration but with temperature=0.6 under the thinking mode. Under the no-thinking mode, the inference hyperparameters were set to top_p=0.8, top_k=20, presence_penalty=1.5, and temperature=0.7.
* Empty cells (--) indicate scores not yet available or not applicable.

Quickstart

[!Important] Qwen3.5 models support both non-thinking and thinking mode. Qwen3.5-2B operates in non-thinking mode by default. To enable thinking, refer to the examples here.

For streamlined integration, we recommend using Qwen3.5 via APIs. Below is a guide to use Qwen3.5 via OpenAI-compatible API.

Serving Qwen3.5

Qwen3.5 can be served via APIs with popular inference frameworks. In the following, we show example commands to launch OpenAI-Compatible API servers for Qwen3.5 models.

[!Important] Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks. We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, KTransformers or vLLM are strongly recommended.

[!Important] The model has a default context length of 262,144 tokens. If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) errors, consider reducing the context window.

SGLang

SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models. SGLang from the main branch of the open-source repository is required for Qwen3.5, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:

uv pip install 'git+https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git#subdirectory=python&egg=sglang[all]'

See its documentation for more details.

The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:

Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144
Tool Use: To support tool use, you can use the following command.

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP:

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --speculative-algo NEXTN --speculative-num-steps 3 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4

vLLM

vLLM is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs. vLLM from the main branch of the open-source repository is required for Qwen3.5, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:

uv pip install vllm --torch-backend=auto --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly

See its documentation for more details.

For detailed Qwen3.5 usage guide, see the vLLM Qwen3.5 recipe.

The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:

Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.

vllm serve surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144
Tool Call: To support tool use, you can use the following command.

vllm serve surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP:

vllm serve surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --speculative-config '{"method":"qwen3_next_mtp","num_speculative_tokens":2}'
Text-Only: The following command skips the vision encoder and multimodal profiling to free up memory for additional KV cache:

vllm serve surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --language-model-only

KTransformers

KTransformers is a flexible framework for experiencing cutting-edge LLM inference optimizations with CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing. For running Qwen3.5 with KTransformers, see the KTransformers Deployment Guide.

Hugging Face Transformers

Hugging Face Transformers contains a lightweight server which can be used for quick testing and moderate load deployment. The latest transformers is required for Qwen3.5:

pip install "transformers[serving] @ git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git@main"

See its documentation for more details. Please also make sure torchvision and pillow are installed.

Then, run transformers serve to launch a server with API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1; it will place the model on accelerators if available:

transformers serve --force-model surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL --port 8000 --continuous-batching

Using Qwen3.5 via the Chat Completions API

The chat completions API is accessible via standard HTTP requests or OpenAI SDKs. Here, we show examples using the OpenAI Python SDK.

Before starting, make sure it is installed and the API key and the API base URL is configured, e.g.:

shell

pip install -U openai

# Set the following accordingly
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8000/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="EMPTY"

[!Tip] We recommend using the following set of sampling parameters for generation

Non-thinking mode for text tasks: temperature=1.0, top_p=1.00, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=2.0, repetition_penalty=1.0

Non-thinking mode for VL tasks: temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0

Thinking mode for text tasks: temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0

Thinking mode for VL or precise coding (e.g. WebDev) tasks : temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0

Please note that the support for sampling parameters varies according to inference frameworks.

        "mm_processor_kwargs": {"fps": 2, "do_sample_frames": True},
    }, 
)

print("Chat response:", chat_response)

Thinking Mode

[!Important] Qwen3.5 does not officially support the soft switch of Qwen3, i.e., /think and /nothink.

You can make the model think before response by configuring the API parameters. For example,

python

from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Type \"I love Qwen3.5\" backwards"},
]

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL",
    messages=messages,
    max_tokens=81920,
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    presence_penalty=1.5,
    extra_body={
        "top_k": 20,
        "enable_thinking": True,
    }, 
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

python

from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image_url",
                "image_url": {
                    "url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3.5/demo/CI_Demo/mathv-1327.jpg"
                }
            },
            {
                "type": "text",
                "text": "The centres of the four illustrated circles are in the corners of the square. The two big circles touch each other and also the two little circles. With which factor do you have to multiply the radii of the little circles to obtain the radius of the big circles?\nChoices:\n(A) $\\frac{2}{9}$\n(B) $\\sqrt{5}$\n(C) $0.8 \\cdot \\pi$\n(D) 2.5\n(E) $1+\\sqrt{2}$"
            }
        ]
    }
]

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL",
    messages=messages,
    max_tokens=81920,
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    presence_penalty=1.5,
    extra_body={
        "top_k": 20,
    }, 
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

[!Important] In thinking mode, we have observed that when using the recommended sampling parameters, Qwen3.5-2B is more prone to entering thinking loops compared to other Qwen3.5 models, which may prevent it from terminating generation properly. We recommend further tuning the sampling parameters specific to your use case and utilizing the API's streaming generation mode (if supported) to enable timely detection and interruption of such anomalous generation behaviors.

Agentic Usage

Qwen3.5 excels in tool calling capabilities.

Qwen-Agent

We recommend using Qwen-Agent to quickly build Agent applications with Qwen3.5.

To define the available tools, you can use the MCP configuration file, use the integrated tool of Qwen-Agent, or integrate other tools by yourself.

python

import os
from qwen_agent.agents import Assistant

# Define LLM
# Using OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. The API backend should disable response parsers.
llm_cfg = {
    # Use your own model service compatible with OpenAI API by vLLM/SGLang:
    'model': 'surogate/Qwen3.5-2B-Surogate-VL',
    'model_type': 'qwenvl_oai',

Best Practices

To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:

Sampling Parameters:
- We suggest using the following sets of sampling parameters depending on the mode and task type:
  - Non-thinking mode for text tasks:
    temperature=1.0, top_p=1.00, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=2.0, repetition_penalty=1.0
  - Non-thinking mode for VL tasks:
    temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0
  - Thinking mode for text tasks:
    temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0
  - Thinking mode for VL or precise coding (e.g., WebDev) tasks:
    temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0
- For supported frameworks, you can adjust the presence_penalty parameter between 0 and 2 to reduce endless repetitions. However, using a higher value may occasionally result in language mixing and a slight decrease in model performance.
Adequate Output Length: We recommend using an output length of 32,768 tokens for most queries. For benchmarking on highly complex problems, such as those found in math and programming competitions, we suggest setting the max output length to 81,920 tokens. This provides the model with sufficient space to generate detailed and comprehensive responses, thereby enhancing its overall performance.
Standardize Output Format: We recommend using prompts to standardize model outputs when benchmarking.
- Math Problems: Include "Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \boxed{}." in the prompt.
- Multiple-Choice Questions: Add the following JSON structure to the prompt to standardize responses: "Please show your choice in the answer field with only the choice letter, e.g., "answer": "C"."
No Thinking Content in History: In multi-turn conversations, the historical model output should only include the final output part and does not need to include the thinking content. It is implemented in the provided chat template in Jinja2. However, for frameworks that do not directly use the Jinja2 chat template, it is up to the developers to ensure that the best practice is followed.
Long Video Understanding: To optimize inference efficiency for plain text and images, the size parameter in the released video_preprocessor_config.json is conservatively configured. It is recommended to set the longest_edge parameter in the video_preprocessor_config file to 469,762,048 (corresponding to 224k video tokens) to enable higher frame-rate sampling for hour-scale videos and thereby achieve superior performance. For example,

{"longest_edge": 469762048, "shortest_edge": 4096}

Alternatively, override the default values via engine startup parameters. For implementation details, refer to: vLLM / SGLang.
