# Qwen3.6 27B

Qwen3.6 27B is the Qwen team's dense 27-billion-parameter open-weight model, released under Apache 2.0 and built on direct community feedback for stability and everyday utility. It targets agentic coding — repository-level comprehension and front-end workflows — and adds an option to preserve reasoning from earlier turns so iterative sessions keep their context. Its published context window is 229,376 tokens. The advertised input rate is $0.60 per million input tokens. The advertised output rate is $3.60 per million output tokens.
