Qwen 3.5's visual agentic capabilities autonomously control desktop apps, mobile apps, and web browsers by analyzing UI screenshots, detecting elements, and executing multi-step tasks. Scores 83.6 on LiveCodeBench v6 (near human-level competitive programming). At $0.40/M input tokens with 1M context, it is 10-17x cheaper than Claude or GPT for these tasks. The first frontier-class model with native UI automation built in.
