Who actually decided that more parameters automatically mean more intelligence?
With a GPQA Diamond Score of 85.5, the Qwen3.5-27B outperforms models such as MiniMax-M2.5 (230B) and DeepSeek V3.2 (685B). It consumes significantly fewer hardware resources and still achieves better benchmark results.
The trend is clear: size is no longer a sign of quality. Efficiency is the new competitive arena.
On-device AI has always been a trade-off between performance and hardware requirements. With Qwen 3.5, this boundary is shifting significantly.
