@Tylerwtzhang@vaiduakhu@jaro3th@noctus91 Just tried a few and WOW. It seems like a qwen3.6-9b we never got. Its more efficient than 9b, wastes less token and get more things done. Its perfect por personal assistant like hermes. Currently getting 82tks median with a rx 9070xt and using it at q8.
Spark-X2.6-1.7B: less than half the parameters of our 4B, close on two benchmarks:
SWE Verified: 59.8 vs 62.8
τ²-bench: 85.3 vs 86.9
Both at high thinking.
Try it & Like on HF!

When should the cloud execute for the edge agent, and when should it just advise?
We present a systematic study of edge-cloud collaboration in long-horizon agent execution. Using EC²-Bench, we evaluate four collaboration strategies across 128 executable tasks, jointly measuring task completion, resource cost, and privacy exposure.
Here are three key findings:
1️⃣ Small cloud budget, big gains.(cost-efficiency). With Qwen3.5-9B on-device and GLM-5.3 in the cloud, edge-only scores 39.12; the best collaboration reaches 60.46 — about 73% of cloud-only (82.70) — at only $8.73, roughly 15% of cloud-only's $56.42.
2️⃣ Performance converges, privacy doesn't. On Qwen3.7-Plus, best collaboration hits 76.84 vs 82.70 cloud-only; strategy gaps shrink to just 3.67 completion points, yet privacy exposure spans 66.23 percentage points — and the best-performing strategy leaks the most.
3️⃣ The mode flips with edge capability. Weak edges do best with an external router that lets the cloud execute (2B: Per-step Routing 39.97 vs self-delegation 15.86); stronger edges do best when the cloud only advises (9B Cloud Advisory 60.46).
Further experiments highlight two abilities that matter for effective self-directed collaboration: knowing when to ask for help, and actually acting on the cloud's advice.

A 4B model is matching 9B models on several benchmarks. Spark-X2.6-4B: same arch as X2.5, gains all from post-training — coding, agents, 1M context, on-device. The small-model curve is steep. https://t.co/RndcMSt4uP
@SparkLLM@huggingface@ModelScope2022@ollama@vllm_project@sgl_project 🚨 Update🚨
We may have the best <16GB VRAM model over here. Impressive results and impressive speed.
⚠️The benchmark is about RAW performance. Thinking OFF, and MTP OFF.
Spark had difficult time with Terminal-Bench 2.0 (samples)
But Overall TOP #1 quality/speed for sure.
@NayteThaGreat Yeah going to test it myself on my own benchmarks. So far no small model has been able to beat Qwen3.5-9B. I’m getting ~70 tps so far on this new model
