Summary

Discussion about Alibaba's potential open-weights release of Qwen 3.7 9B and seeking alternatives to Qwen 3.5 9B for local deployment.

Given that Alibaba went proprietary/API-only for the Qwen 3.7 Max and Plus launches back in May, do we have any rumors or roadmap for a local 9B open-weights release? In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out my next step for a small local setup. Is there any model in the ~8B to 9B class that currently beats Qwen 3.5 9B?
