Alibaba releases Qwen3.5 open-weights vision-language model family with MoE architecture across eight sizes

Alibaba released the Qwen3.5 family of eight open-weights vision-language models ranging from 0.8B to 397B parameters, built on a mixture-of-experts architecture with mixed attention and Gated DeltaNet layers. The flagship Qwen3.5-397B-A17B outperforms GPT-5.2, Claude 4.5 Opus, and Gemini-3 Pro on 28 of 44 vision benchmarks, while the 9B model surpasses OpenAI's gpt-oss-120B on most language tasks. Open weights are available under Apache 2.0, with hosted agentic variants (Qwen3.5-Plus, Qwen3.5-Flash) available via Alibaba Cloud. The release is notable for strong small-model efficiency and comes amid reported team departures following the Qwen3 rollout.

Mistral Launches Medium 3.5 (128B Open Weights), Remote Cloud Coding Agents in Vibe, and Work Mode in Le Chat

Mistral AI has released Mistral Medium 3.5, a 128B dense open-weights model with a 256k context window, configurable reasoning effort, and a vision encoder trained from scratch, scoring 77.6% on SWE-Bench Verified. Alongside the model, Mistral is launching remote cloud-based coding agents in its Vibe CLI and Le Chat interface, enabling async parallel coding sessions that run independently and notify users on completion. A new Work mode in Le Chat provides a multi-step agentic interface for cross-tool workflows including email, calendar, research, and issue tracking. Mistral Medium 3.5 replaces Devstral 2 as the default model in both Le Chat and the Vibe CLI, and is available for self-hosting on as few as four GPUs under a modified MIT license.

Mistral Releases Leanstral: First Open-Source Code Agent for Lean 4 Formal Verification

Mistral AI has released Leanstral, an open-source code agent built on a sparse 120B/6B-active-parameter architecture, designed specifically for formal proof engineering in Lean 4. The model targets realistic proof engineering workflows rather than isolated math competition problems, and is benchmarked on FLTEval, a new evaluation suite tied to the Fermat's Last Theorem formalization project. Leanstral is released under Apache 2.0 with a free API endpoint and MCP support, and demonstrates competitive performance against Claude Sonnet 4.6 at roughly 1/15th the cost. The release positions formal verification as a scalable alternative to human code review for high-stakes software and mathematics.
