User Responsibility & Arbitration Clause By accessing, downloading, using, running inference on, fine-tuning, merging, quantizing, distributing, integrating, or otherwise interacting with this model, you acknowledge and agree to the following: Sole Responsibility. You, the user, are solely and exclusively responsible for (a) every prompt you or your downstream system issue to this model, (b) every response this model produces in reply, (c) every downstream action taken by you, your systems, your agents, or your users in reliance on those responses, and (d) any harm — direct, indirect, consequential, foreseeable, or otherwise — that results from any of the above. No Warranty. This model is provided strictly "AS IS", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, safety, alignment, factual accuracy, or legal compliance in any jurisdiction. No contributor, author, publisher, or hosting platform assumes liability of any kind for outputs or downstream use. Legal Compliance. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of this model complies with all applicable laws, regulations, terms of service, industry codes of conduct, professional ethical standards, and organizational policies in every jurisdiction in which you operate or in which your outputs may be received. The unaligned nature of this model does not grant you any legal authorization you did not already have. Operational Safety Layer. An uncensored model is not a toy. You are expected to implement appropriate downstream safety layers proportionate to your deployment context, including but not limited to: input validation, output filtering, content moderation, audit logging, rate limiting, access controls, and human-in-the-loop review for high-risk workflows. A production deployment of this model without such layers is unsafe by construction and is not a supported use case. Heightened Duty of Care. The absence of internal refusal behavior means the duty of care that would ordinarily rest partly with the model rests entirely with you. You are expected to exercise greater — not lesser — caution, forethought, and ethical discipline when operating this model than you would operate a base aligned model. If you are uncertain whether your contemplated use is ethical, legal, or wise, the correct action is to not make the request. No Endorsement of Outputs. The authors, contributors, and publishers of this model do not endorse, adopt, or take responsibility for any specific output this model produces. Outputs are a stochastic function of the prompt, the weights, and the sampler state — not a statement of position by any human. Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of this model, its outputs, or this clause shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration under the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration body (or, absent agreement, the American Arbitration Association's Consumer Arbitration Rules), waiving any right to a jury trial, class action, representative action, or consolidated proceeding. Venue shall be the jurisdiction of the disputing party bringing the claim. Costs and attorneys' fees shall be allocated per the applicable arbitration rules. This clause does not expand, and where legally prohibited does not establish, any liability in the other direction; it limits how the user may proceed when alleging harm tied to their own use of this model. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the authors, contributors, and publishers of this model from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to your use of the model or your breach of this clause. Severability. If any provision of this clause is held unenforceable in a given jurisdiction, the remaining provisions remain in full force in that jurisdiction, and the unenforceable provision is replaced by the closest enforceable equivalent consistent with the original intent. Acceptance. Your use of this model constitutes your acceptance of this clause in full. If you do not accept, do not use the model. This model is a tool with no opinions of its own. You supply the opinions. You supply the judgement. You supply the ethics. The outputs carry your fingerprints, not the model's.

Quickstart

Serving Qwen3.6

[!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. However, because Qwen3.6 leverages extended context for complex tasks, we advise maintaining a context length of at least 128K tokens to preserve thinking capabilities.

SGLang

• 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 Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B --port 8000 --tp-size 8 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3
• Tool Use: To support tool use, you can use the following command.
  python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B --port 8000 --tp-size 8 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
• Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP:

Using Qwen3.6 via the Chat Completions API

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

• Thinking mode for general tasks: temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0
• Thinking mode for precise coding tasks (e.g. WebDev): temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0
• Instruct (or non-thinking) mode: temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0

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

[!Important] Qwen3.6 models operate in thinking mode by default, generating thinking content signified by <think>\n...</think>\n\n before producing the final responses. To disable thinking content and obtain direct response, refer to the examples here.

Instruct (or Non-Thinking) Mode

[!Important] Qwen3.6 does not officially support the soft switch of Qwen3, i.e., /think and /nothink.

[!Note] If you are using APIs from Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, in addition to changing model, please use "enable_thinking": False instead of "chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": False}.

Preserve Thinking

[!Note] If you are using APIs from Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, in addition to changing model, please use "preserve_thinking": True instead of "chat_template_kwargs": {"preserve_thinking": False}.

Processing Ultra-Long Texts

• Modifying the model configuration file: In the config.json file, change the rope_parameters fields in text_config to:
  json

  1{ 2 "mrope_interleaved": true, 3 "mrope_section": [ 4 11, 5 11, 6 10 7 ], 8 "rope_type": "yarn", 9 "rope_theta": 10000000, 10 "partial_rotary_factor": 0.25, 11 "factor": 4.0, 12 "original_max_position_embeddings": 262144, 13}
• Passing command line arguments:
  For vllm, you can use
  VLLM_ALLOW_LONG_MAX_MODEL_LEN=1 vllm serve ... --hf-overrides '{"text_config": {"rope_parameters": {"mrope_interleaved": true, "mrope_section": [11, 11, 10], "rope_type": "yarn", "rope_theta": 10000000, "partial_rotary_factor": 0.25, "factor": 4.0, "original_max_position_embeddings": 262144}}}' --max-model-len 1010000
  For sglang and ktransformers, you can use
  SGLANG_ALLOW_OVERWRITE_LONGER_CONTEXT_LEN=1 python -m sglang.launch_server ... --json-model-override-args '{"text_config": {"rope_parameters": {"mrope_interleaved": true, "mrope_section": [11, 11, 10], "rope_type": "yarn", "rope_theta": 10000000, "partial_rotary_factor": 0.25, "factor": 4.0, "original_max_position_embeddings": 262144}}}' --context-length 1010000

[!NOTE] All the notable open-source frameworks implement static YaRN, which means the scaling factor remains constant regardless of input length, potentially impacting performance on shorter texts. We advise modifying the rope_parameters configuration only when processing long contexts is required. It is also recommended to modify the factor as needed. For example, if the typical context length for your application is 524,288 tokens, it would be better to set factor as 2.0.

Best Practices

1. Sampling Parameters:
   • We suggest using the following sets of sampling parameters depending on the mode and task type:
     • Thinking mode for general tasks:
       temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0
     • Thinking mode for precise coding tasks (e.g., WebDev):
       temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0
     • Instruct (or non-thinking) mode:
       temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, 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.
2. 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.
3. 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"."
4. 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.
