🔥 Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled

A reasoning SFT fine-tune of Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on chain-of-thought (CoT) distillation mostly sourced from Claude Opus 4.6. The goal is to preserve Qwen3.6's strong agentic coding and reasoning base while nudging the model toward structured Claude Opus-style reasoning traces and more stable long-form problem solving.

The training path is text-only. The Qwen3.6 base architecture includes a vision encoder, but this fine-tuning run did not train on image or video examples.

• Developed by: @hesamation
• Base model: Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B
• License: apache-2.0

This fine-tuning run is inspired by Jackrong/Qwen3.5-27B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled, including the notebook/training workflow style and Claude Opus reasoning-distillation direction.

Benchmark Results

The MMLU-Pro pass used 70 total questions per model: --limit 5 across 14 MMLU-Pro subjects. Treat this as a smoke/comparative check, not a release-quality full benchmark.

Community benchmarks welcome

To better understand this fine-tuned model's capabilities, I welcome independent benchmark results. If you run evaluations, please include the benchmark name, harness/script, sample count, decoding settings, and raw logs or result files when possible.

Base Qwen3.6 Highlights

This release delivers substantial upgrades, particularly in:

• Agentic Coding: the model now handles frontend workflows and repository-level reasoning with greater fluency and precision.
• Thinking Preservation: Qwen introduced a new option to retain reasoning context from historical messages, streamlining iterative development and reducing overhead.

For more details, please refer to the Qwen blog post Qwen3.6-35B-A3B.

Training Data

The recipe samples and normalizes reasoning conversations from three datasets, then renders them with the qwen3-thinking chat template and response-only SFT masking.

Dataset	Requested sample count	Role
nohurry/Opus-4.6-Reasoning-3000x-filtered	3,900	Claude Opus reasoning trajectories
Jackrong/Qwen3.5-reasoning-700x	700	Curated Qwen reasoning samples
Roman1111111/claude-opus-4.6-10000x	9,633	Additional Claude Opus reasoning examples

Intended Use

This model is intended for reasoning-heavy text workflows such as coding assistance, planning, math-style reasoning, and structured analytical responses. Because the fine-tune is text-only, image/video behavior should be treated as inherited from the base model rather than improved by this training run.
