Alibaba released Qwen 3.5, a 397B MoE model (17B active per token) that can see and control desktop apps, mobile apps, and web browsers by processing UI screenshots and executing multi-step workflows autonomously. 60% cheaper to run than its predecessor, 8x higher throughput, supports 200+ languages and 2-hour video inputs. Claims to outperform GPT-5.2, Claude Opus 4.5, and Gemini 3 Pro on multiple benchmarks. Open-weight, self-hostable. Ships simultaneously with qwen-code (Claude Code equivalent) and Qwen-Agent framework. What to do: At $0.40/M input tokens with native UI automation, this is the most cost-effective option for building desktop workflow automation. Test via Alibaba Cloud Model Studio.
