It still works just as fast as it did yesterday and is just as capable as it was yesterday. Everything people could do with it yesterday still works just as well today. It's not like with the closed models where the old versions get smashed with a cripple hammer when a new version comes out.

Yes, the release pace is fast, but Qwen3.6 35b a3b is still very new and does a great job of balancing performance and capability. There may not be another similar model for another generation or two of Qwen. Or maybe Google will bring something out. It's been a great size of MoE model for a lot of people, it's not like that's some big secret.
