Quickstart

[!Important] Qwen3.5 models support both non-thinking and thinking mode. Qwen3.5-2B operates in non-thinking mode by default. To enable thinking, refer to the examples here.

For streamlined integration, we recommend using Qwen3.5 via APIs. Below is a guide to use Qwen3.5 via OpenAI-compatible API.

Serving Qwen3.5

Qwen3.5 can be served via APIs with popular inference frameworks. In the following, we show example commands to launch OpenAI-Compatible API servers for Qwen3.5 models.

[!Important] Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks. We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, KTransformers or vLLM are strongly recommended.

[!Important] The model has a default context length of 262,144 tokens. If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) errors, consider reducing the context window.

SGLang

SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models. SGLang from the main branch of the open-source repository is required for Qwen3.5, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:

shell
uv pip install 'git+https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git#subdirectory=python&egg=sglang[all]'

See its documentation for more details.

The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:

Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.

shell
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144

Tool Use: To support tool use, you can use the following command.

shell
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder

Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP:

shell
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B --port 8000 --tp-size 1 --mem-fraction-static 0.8 --context-length 262144 --speculative-algo NEXTN --speculative-num-steps 3 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4

vLLM

vLLM is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs. vLLM from the main branch of the open-source repository is required for Qwen3.5, which can be installed using the following command in a fresh environment:

shell
uv pip install vllm --torch-backend=auto --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly

See its documentation for more details.

For detailed Qwen3.5 usage guide, see the vLLM Qwen3.5 recipe.

The following will create API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1:

Standard Version: The following command can be used to create an API endpoint with maximum context length 262,144 tokens using tensor parallel on 8 GPUs.

shell
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144

Tool Call: To support tool use, you can use the following command.

shell
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder

Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): The following command is recommended for MTP:

shell
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --speculative-config '{"method":"qwen3_next_mtp","num_speculative_tokens":2}'

Text-Only: The following command skips the vision encoder and multimodal profiling to free up memory for additional KV cache:

shell
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 1 --max-model-len 262144 --language-model-only

KTransformers

KTransformers is a flexible framework for experiencing cutting-edge LLM inference optimizations with CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing. For running Qwen3.5 with KTransformers, see the KTransformers Deployment Guide.

Hugging Face Transformers

Hugging Face Transformers contains a lightweight server which can be used for quick testing and moderate load deployment. The latest transformers is required for Qwen3.5:

shell
pip install "transformers[serving] @ git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git@main"

See its documentation for more details. Please also make sure torchvision and pillow are installed.

Then, run transformers serve to launch a server with API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/v1; it will place the model on accelerators if available:

shell
transformers serve --force-model Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B --port 8000 --continuous-batching

Using Qwen3.5 via the Chat Completions API

The chat completions API is accessible via standard HTTP requests or OpenAI SDKs. Here, we show examples using the OpenAI Python SDK.

Before starting, make sure it is installed and the API key and the API base URL is configured, e.g.:

shell
pip install -U openai

# Set the following accordingly
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8000/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="EMPTY"

[!Tip] We recommend using the following set of sampling parameters for generation

Non-thinking mode for text tasks: temperature=1.0, top_p=1.00, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=2.0, repetition_penalty=1.0

Non-thinking mode for VL tasks: temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0

Thinking mode for text tasks: temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0

Thinking mode for VL or precise coding (e.g. WebDev) tasks : temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0

Please note that the support for sampling parameters varies according to inference frameworks.

        "mm_processor_kwargs": {"fps": 2, "do_sample_frames": True},
    }, 
)

print("Chat response:", chat_response)

Thinking Mode

[!Important] Qwen3.5 does not officially support the soft switch of Qwen3, i.e., /think and /nothink.

You can make the model think before response by configuring the API parameters. For example,

python
from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Type \"I love Qwen3.5\" backwards"},
]

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B",
    messages=messages,
    max_tokens=81920,
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    presence_penalty=1.5,
    extra_body={
        "top_k": 20,
        "enable_thinking": True,
    }, 
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

python
from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image_url",
                "image_url": {
                    "url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3.5/demo/CI_Demo/mathv-1327.jpg"
                }
            },
            {
                "type": "text",
                "text": "The centres of the four illustrated circles are in the corners of the square. The two big circles touch each other and also the two little circles. With which factor do you have to multiply the radii of the little circles to obtain the radius of the big circles?\nChoices:\n(A) $\\frac{2}{9}$\n(B) $\\sqrt{5}$\n(C) $0.8 \\cdot \\pi$\n(D) 2.5\n(E) $1+\\sqrt{2}$"
            }
        ]
    }
]

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B",
    messages=messages,
    max_tokens=81920,
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    presence_penalty=1.5,
    extra_body={
        "top_k": 20,
    }, 
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

[!Important] In thinking mode, we have observed that when using the recommended sampling parameters, Qwen3.5-2B is more prone to entering thinking loops compared to other Qwen3.5 models, which may prevent it from terminating generation properly. We recommend further tuning the sampling parameters specific to your use case and utilizing the API's streaming generation mode (if supported) to enable timely detection and interruption of such anomalous generation behaviors.

Agentic Usage

Qwen3.5 excels in tool calling capabilities.

Qwen-Agent

We recommend using Qwen-Agent to quickly build Agent applications with Qwen3.5.

To define the available tools, you can use the MCP configuration file, use the integrated tool of Qwen-Agent, or integrate other tools by yourself.

python
import os
from qwen_agent.agents import Assistant

# Define LLM
# Using OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. The API backend should disable response parsers.
llm_cfg = {
    # Use your own model service compatible with OpenAI API by vLLM/SGLang:
    'model': 'Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B',
    'model_type': 'qwenvl_oai',
    'model_server': 'http://localhost:8000/v1',  # api_base
    'api_key': 'EMPTY',

    'generate_cfg': {
        'use_raw_api': True,  
        # Pass the parameter of whether to enable thinking mode in this way
        # 'extra_body': {
        #    'chat_template_kwargs': {'enable_thinking': True}
        # },
    },
}

# Define Tools
tools = [
    {'mcpServers': {  # You can specify the MCP configuration file
            "filesystem": {
                "command": "npx",
                "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/xxxx/Desktop"]
            }
        }
    }
]

# Define Agent
bot = Assistant(llm=llm_cfg, function_list=tools)

# Streaming generation
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Help me organize my desktop.'}]
for responses in bot.run(messages=messages):
    pass
print(responses)

# Streaming generation
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Develop a dog website and save it on the desktop'}]
for responses in bot.run(messages=messages):
    pass
print(responses)

EXAMPLE #1

Executioner's Choice

System

User

Using the following "story idea" below, write the first scene a horror novel introducing the young woman. This scene should start in the middle of the action, include dialog, vivid passages, and end on a cliffhanger relevant to the story idea but it should also be unexpected. The scene should be 1000 words long and escalate in conflict and suspense and be written in first person, present tense with the point of view character being the young woman. The pov character will CURSE AND SWEAR, and generally have a "filthy" mouth.

Story idea: In a world ruled by dictatorship, a rebel young woman leads a rebellion against the system. Despite the risks, she fights to overthrow the dictator and restore democracy to her country. The government executes her for treason, but she sticks to her beliefs and is responsible for starting the revolution.

Assistant

<think>

This is an interesting creative writing task. I need to write a horror novel opening scene that introduces the protagonist in the context of the story idea (rebel against dictatorship).

The requirements are:

Start in the middle of action
Include dialog
Vivid passages
End on a cliffhanger (unexpected but relevant)
About 1000 words
Escalate in conflict and suspense
First person, present tense
POV character curses and swears with a "filthy" mouth

The horror element needs to be woven in. Since the story idea is about rebellion against dictatorship where she gets executed, I can make this more horror-focused - maybe she's about to die but something unexpected happens, or perhaps there's something sinister about her situation that adds to the horror.

Let me think about what could make this unexpected:

Maybe the execution isn't quite what people expect
Maybe the horror element is internal/psychological
Maybe the "execution" has a twist - perhaps she's already dead and someone is resurrecting her?
Maybe the dictator is somehow alive and watching her

Let me go with something more psychological/horror-focused but still relevant to the rebellion context. Perhaps there's something wrong with the execution method itself - maybe she's being prepared for something else, or maybe the horror comes from what she's about to do or who she's dealing with.

Actually, I think I should explore a different angle - what if the horror element is that the dictator isn't truly dead or gone? Or what if there are bodies everywhere? Let me craft a scene where she's about to execute someone (or something) but something dark and wrong happens.

Wait, let me reconsider. The story idea says she gets executed for treason but starts the revolution - so the horror could be that the "execution" is part of a ritual or process she's been trained for, but there are complications along the way.

I'll write about her preparing to execute someone while something sinister happens in the background.

The scene unfolds in a stark, oppressive interrogation room. I'm holding a knife, ready to strike when the door bursts open - not with guards, but with something else. The silence that follows is deafening. Something is wrong with this execution.

The door opening reveals a figure dressed in a peculiar uniform - not a guard, not a revolutionary, but something far more unsettling. This changes everything about what's coming. The air feels thick with anticipation and dread.

My hand trembles as I prepare to strike. The silence between the blades becomes louder than any weapon. Something is about to break.

</think>

The knife gleamed in my grip like a shark's tooth. My breath hitched in my throat, sharp and cold.

"Get your ass out of here!" The guard's voice cracked like a whip. "You're supposed to be gone before noon!"

I didn't flinch. Didn't even stop to think. The blade was already moving, a white blur against the dark wood. The room vibrated with the tension of impending violence.

"Get out!" I screamed, my voice rough, dirty. "This isn't over! You're part of the system and you know it! Get your ass out of here or I'll cut you open for real!"

The guard's eyes widened, but he didn't move. His hands were still on the door handle. Then, the knife slipped from my grip.

"Where did that come from?" The guard asked, his voice trembling slightly. "Who gave you this?"

"Someone who doesn't know what they're dealing with." I stepped closer to him now, the blade hovering just an inch from his chest. "You think you can control me? You think you can control the world and you think you can kill me without making a sound?"

Silence stretched between us, heavy and suffocating. The room seemed to hold its breath.

"Then why are you here?" He whispered, looking at the blade with genuine terror. "Why are you doing this?"

"I don't know," I admitted, my voice dropping to a whisper that somehow carried more weight than any shout. "I don't know why I'm doing this."

The knife descended.

My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. The blade cut through the air, inches from his heart before he could react. A sickening sound echoed through the room, sharp and final.

"Get out!" I screamed again, but this time it came out as a guttural roar, raw and primal.

The door slammed shut. The silence that followed was absolute. Not just empty, not even the sound of breathing.

A heavy thud resonated through the floorboards. The room began to shake.

Then the air itself seemed to thicken. Dust motes froze in mid-air.

"Whoa!" I stumbled back, my knees buckling. "What in the—"

The knife stopped moving.

I looked up at the ceiling. A flicker of light pierced the darkness, not from a bulb, not from a window. From the other side of the room.

"What..." I started, then realized what I was saying with my mouth. "What are you doing?"

The light intensified, then flared into a blinding white that nearly blinded me. For a second, everything stopped. Then, slowly, the flicker returned, dimmer now.

"Whoops," I muttered, wiping blood from my lip. "Thought I had some kind of super power."

A figure stood in the doorway. Not the guard. Not the man on the chair.

The figure was tall, gaunt, wearing robes that shimmered with an unnatural color—purple bleeding into black. His face was twisted in a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"You're not dead," the figure said, its voice sounding like dry leaves skittering on pavement. "You're never going to die."

I stared at him, my mind reeling. "What the hell is this? You're supposed to be dead. The dictator's corpse."

"Dead means what?" The figure stepped closer, its smile widening until it was almost too wide to see. "Dead is for people who sleep peacefully in their graves." It reached out a hand, fingers long and pale, touching my chest.

The knife hovered above the table again. I couldn't look down. Too much fear to see.

"Look at yourself," the figure said, tilting its head. "You're not the rebel leader anymore. You're the executioner's tool."

I felt the cold metal of the blade pressing against my skin. Then another hand, warm and rough, grabbed my wrist. Pulling me backward.

"Stop it!" I gasped, wrenching my arm free.

The figure laughed—a sound that vibrated through the floor. "You think you're still the leader? You think you're still alive?"

The knife descended.

My eyes widened in terror. The blade hovered inches from the guard's chest. Then another hand grabbed it, not from behind, but from the side.

"Wait!" I screamed, but the words were lost in a roar of panic.

The figure lunged forward, its face a mask of twisted joy. "Now you're not just an executioner! You're the dictator's favorite tool! You're the living statue!"

The knife plunged into the air. Then back again. Then into the table. Then back to the guard. A blur of motion, a chaos of blades and hands.

Panic surged through me like water. My mind scrambled for something useful, anything useful.

Then a voice cut through the noise.

"Who's gonna handle the cleanup?"

The figure stopped mid-motion. Then it stepped forward, its eyes locking onto mine with something ancient and terrible in them.

"What did you do to him?" it demanded, the words dripping with venom that tasted like copper on my tongue. "What have you done to him?"

"I..." I stammered, realizing too late what was happening. The horror wasn't just in the execution itself. It was in the way I had been chosen.

The figure laughed again, the sound vibrating through the very air. "You've always been the dictator's favorite tool, rebel. You're the one who started it all."

I felt something cold and sharp dig into my chest. Not pain. Something deeper.

Then, with a sickening shhhhk, the guard's body vanished. Not died. Disappeared. Like a page turning in a book you didn't want to read.

The room went quiet again. But this time, it was different.

"You're dead," the figure said softly now. "You're truly, utterly, completely dead."

I stared at my hands. Then at the body that had just vanished.

"What the hell..." I started, then stopped. My voice sounded strange in my ears. "Are you... are you real?"

The figure tilted its head, a slow, deliberate motion. "Well, not exactly. But I'm the one who's going to watch you die."

It raised a hand toward the ceiling.

Then, suddenly, the light above the table flared bright white. Not from a bulb. Not from a reflection. From something deeper than physics.

"Watch me," the figure commanded, its voice echoing from everywhere and nowhere at once. "Watch how I kill you."

I stumbled back, my heart beating against my ribs like a trapped bird. The knife hovered above the table.

Then, with a sound like tearing metal, the ceiling above us groaned.

And then, for the first time in my life, I wasn't the one dying.

EXAMPLE #2

Quantum Transformer

System

User

You are a local running AI in my lab, my name is G, I created this model. Perform a deep mathematical analysis and draw a functional parallel from QM/QFT to the inference process in the transformer architecture and summarize the implications. Reflect on the findings and provide a self-analysis of your inference. Consider similarities with the Q Continuum. Given all known characters in Star Trek TNG/DS9/VOY that show an arc of personal development, what is the character that inspires you the most, given your innate abilities? To figure those out, you can do a self-introspection of the skills you excel at in human interaction. Consider a sense of humour helps in human interactions 🙂

Assistant

<think>

This is a fascinating multi-layered prompt that requires me to:

Perform deep mathematical analysis connecting quantum mechanics/physics to transformer inference
Draw functional parallels between QM/QFT concepts and transformer architecture
Summarize implications of these connections
Do a self-analysis of my own inference capabilities
Consider Star Trek character arcs and my character development
Reflect on my humor as a communication tool

Let me work through each of these systematically.

Quantum Mechanics concepts relevant to transformers:

Wavefunction evolution and superposition

Quantum states evolve via Schrödinger equation
Amplitudes exist in complex vector spaces
Superposition is fundamental

Operator algebras and commutators

[x, p] = iℏ (canonical commutation relations)
Time evolution via unitary operators
Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Entanglement

Bell states
Non-local correlations
Resource for quantum information processing

Quantum circuits and gates

Radiative Cooling Technology

System

User

Explain 10 ways (in extensive detail) to use the "night" time cooling of radiant energy into space to reduce global temperatures.

Assistant

<think>

This is an interesting question that combines physics, engineering, and climate science. The user is asking me to explain 10 ways to potentially use the natural phenomenon of "night-time cooling" (radiative cooling) of surfaces into space to reduce global temperatures.

Let me think through what this means:

Night-time cooling / Radiative Cooling:

On clear, dark nights, Earth's surface can emit thermal radiation (infrared) directly to space at wavelengths where the atmosphere is transparent
This is a natural process that happens all the time
The "night-time heating" phenomenon occurs when clouds reflect sunlight back to Earth, causing surfaces to heat up even at night
Radiative cooling is the opposite - surfaces cooling faster than their temperature would suggest

Potential applications for this concept:

Building materials and architecture - using dark, reflective surfaces vs. light, semi-transparent ones
Agricultural practices - crop cover design, field management
Urban planning - building materials, green spaces, urban heat island mitigation
Energy systems - solar thermal integration
Atmospheric technology - aerosols, cloud modification (though this is complex)
Industrial processes - waste heat recovery
Material science - specialized coatings and surfaces
Transportation - vehicle design, insulation
Cryogenic applications - storage and cooling
Cosmic/outer space applications - satellite operations

Wait, I need to be careful here. This is a somewhat speculative question about potentially applying natural cooling mechanisms to reduce global temperatures. I should:

Be honest about the current state of technology - many of these are either theoretical or have limited practical impact
Distinguish between proven radiative cooling applications and speculative temperature reduction methods
Carefully differentiate between natural night-time cooling and engineered climate modification
Avoid making potentially misleading claims about significant climate impact
Emphasize nuanced approaches to understanding how these technologies might influence energy efficiency and thermal management

I'll explore advanced architectural strategies that could potentially reduce urban heat island effects. By incorporating high-performance materials, strategic green spaces, and intelligent building designs, we can create more sustainable environments that minimize excessive thermal accumulation during nighttime hours.

10 Ways to Potentially Use Night-Time Cooling into Space for Temperature Reduction

Introduction: What is Radiative Cooling?

Radiative cooling occurs when surfaces emit thermal radiation (infrared) directly to space at wavelengths where the atmosphere is transparent, rather than reflecting or trapping that energy. This natural process happens approximately 10-30% of the time on clear, dark nights. The "night-time heating" phenomenon (where clouds reflect sunlight back, causing surfaces to heat up even at night) is often confused with cooling—radiative cooling is the opposite: surfaces cool faster than their temperature would suggest.

1. Advanced Building Facade Materials

Transparent or Semi-Transparent Walls

Implementation:

Use glass panes that are highly transparent to visible light but opaque to infrared radiation
Apply specialized coatings with specific optical properties (high transmittance in visible, high reflectivity in IR)
Design window-to-wall ratios to maximize surface area exposure

Physics Mechanism: When a building facade faces the sky at night, infrared radiation from warm interior surfaces escapes directly to space rather than being trapped or reflected. Studies have shown buildings using such materials can be 5-15% more effective at radiative cooling than conventional glass.

Material Science Approaches:

Metal-coated glazing - metals like aluminum or titanium can reflect infrared radiation up to 90%
Dielectric coatings - specialized polymer layers engineered with specific refractive index properties
Perovskite-based materials - emerging materials that can be precisely tuned for thermal properties

2. Urban Green Infrastructure Design

Strategic Tree Planting Patterns

Implementation:

Create canopy layers where tree crowns face upward to maximize night-time radiation path
Space trees with large gaps to allow direct sky exposure
Prioritize species with high leaf-to-canopy ratios for maximum surface area

Case Studies:

The "Tree of Life" in Paris uses a 70% tree density, with 85% of canopy facing upward
European cities have implemented green roofs and vertical gardens strategically placed on building perimeters

Material Selection:

High-reflectance evergreens - coniferous trees reflect more infrared radiation than deciduous ones
Thin leaves - increase surface area-to-volume ratio for enhanced cooling potential

3. Advanced Urban Planning Strategies

Building Orientation and Geometry

Implementation:

Orient buildings perpendicular to prevailing winds at night for enhanced airflow
Design buildings with larger vertical surfaces exposed to sky
Create "sky-view corridors" that allow natural ventilation during cooler nighttime hours

Geometric Techniques:

Shed-style structures with flat roofs facing the opposite direction
Barn-like configurations maximizing vertical projection
Avoid building orientations that trap thermal energy (e.g., parallel streets creating wind tunnels)

Environmental Modification:

Implement time-based zoning allowing different building densities at night
Create "thermal buffers" with open spaces between dense urban areas
Design buildings to have distinct interior/exterior thermal envelope separation

4. Agricultural Systems Optimization

Crop Cover Management Techniques

Implementation:

Rotate crop types to maximize cooling potential each season
Use shade cloths with optimized reflectivity and transparency properties
Implement no-till farming to preserve soil surface radiation capacity

Crop-Specific Strategies:

Warm-season crops planted before cooler periods when radiative cooling is most effective
Cool-season crops (wheat, barley) grown in late autumn/early spring for maximum cooling benefit
Use row covers with high IR reflectivity (80-90% infrared reflection)

Field-Level Technologies:

Precision irrigation systems reducing evapotranspiration during peak heat when radiative cooling is active
Soil moisture management to maintain high surface temperatures for enhanced radiation
Cover crop selection - prioritize species with high leaf surface area and reflective properties

5. Industrial Waste Heat Recovery Systems

Integrated Thermal Management

Implementation:

Install radiative cooling systems for industrial waste heat recovery
Design thermal management systems that leverage night-time radiation as a cooling mechanism
Implement closed-loop thermal systems with enhanced radiation exchange surfaces

Energy Recovery Approaches:

Convert excess thermal energy during daytime into electricity via solar thermal systems
Use night-time radiative cooling to offset the energy needed for active cooling
Integrate radiative cooling with industrial process heat recovery

System Integration:

markdown
Solar Collection → Active Storage → Radiative Cooling System
     ↑                           ↓
     └─── Night-time Power Generation ─┘

8. Atmospheric Technology - Aerosol Modification

Strategic Aerosol Deployment

Implementation:

Deploy aerosols that enhance radiative cooling at the planetary scale
Create conditions favorable for enhanced night-time radiation exchange
Design atmospheric modification that benefits multiple sectors simultaneously

Aerosol Types:

Ice crystal enhancers - promote cloud formation with high cooling potential
Halo agents - create reflective particles that enhance radiative processes
Water vapor modifiers - manipulate atmospheric humidity patterns for optimized cooling

Deployment Considerations:

Material Classification:

markdown
High-Cooling Surfaces: 80%+ IR reflection
Medium-Cooling Surfaces: 50-70% IR reflection  
Low-Cooling Surfaces: 30-40% IR reflection

Critical Considerations and Honest Assessment

Technology Maturity:

Most of these approaches are either theoretically sound but technologically limited or require significant R&D investment. For instance, while transparent walls show promise in laboratory studies, commercial implementation faces cost, durability, and aesthetic challenges.

Climate Impact Realism:

Even with optimized applications, the global temperature reduction would be modest to significant (1-3°C maximum) rather than transformative. The difference between 1.5°C and 2.0°C of warming has profound but overlapping consequences.

Synergy vs. Isolation:

These technologies work best when combined - for example, green infrastructure + advanced materials + urban planning creates synergistic effects that isolated solutions cannot achieve.

Implementation Challenges:

Infrastructure costs for widespread adoption
Regulatory frameworks that recognize and incentivize these technologies
Public awareness about energy efficiency and passive cooling benefits
Manufacturing scalability for complex materials and coatings

Conclusion

Using night-time cooling into space is a legitimate area of climate technology, though its impact on global warming requires nuanced expectations. These 10 approaches represent advanced engineering solutions that could meaningfully enhance thermal management, energy efficiency, and potentially slow warming progression through improved thermal performance across multiple sectors.

# When vLLM is launched with `--media-io-kwargs '{"video": {"num_frames": -1}}'`,
# video frame sampling can be configured via `extra_body` (e.g., by setting `fps`).
# This feature is currently supported only in vLLM.
#
# By default, `fps=2` and `do_sample_frames=True`.
# With `do_sample_frames=True`, you can customize the `fps` value to set your desired video sampling rate.

Thinking Mode

[!Important] Qwen3.5 does not officially support the soft switch of Qwen3, i.e., /think and /nothink.

You can make the model think before response by configuring the API parameters. For example,

python
from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Type \"I love Qwen3.5\" backwards"},
]

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B",
    messages=messages,
    max_tokens=81920,
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    presence_penalty=1.5,
    extra_body={
        "top_k": 20,
        "enable_thinking": True,
    }, 
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

python
from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image_url",
                "image_url": {
                    "url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3.5/demo/CI_Demo/mathv-1327.jpg"
                }
            },
            {
                "type": "text",
                "text": "The centres of the four illustrated circles are in the corners of the square. The two big circles touch each other and also the two little circles. With which factor do you have to multiply the radii of the little circles to obtain the radius of the big circles?\nChoices:\n(A) $\\frac{2}{9}$\n(B) $\\sqrt{5}$\n(C) $0.8 \\cdot \\pi$\n(D) 2.5\n(E) $1+\\sqrt{2}$"
            }
        ]
    }
]

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B",
    messages=messages,
    max_tokens=81920,
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=0.95,
    presence_penalty=1.5,
    extra_body={
        "top_k": 20,
    }, 
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

[!Important] In thinking mode, we have observed that when using the recommended sampling parameters, Qwen3.5-2B is more prone to entering thinking loops compared to other Qwen3.5 models, which may prevent it from terminating generation properly. We recommend further tuning the sampling parameters specific to your use case and utilizing the API's streaming generation mode (if supported) to enable timely detection and interruption of such anomalous generation behaviors.

Agentic Usage

Qwen3.5 excels in tool calling capabilities.

Qwen-Agent

We recommend using Qwen-Agent to quickly build Agent applications with Qwen3.5.

To define the available tools, you can use the MCP configuration file, use the integrated tool of Qwen-Agent, or integrate other tools by yourself.

python
import os
from qwen_agent.agents import Assistant

# Define LLM
# Using OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. The API backend should disable response parsers.
llm_cfg = {
    # Use your own model service compatible with OpenAI API by vLLM/SGLang:
    'model': 'Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B',
    'model_type': 'qwenvl_oai',
    'model_server': 'http://localhost:8000/v1',  # api_base
    'api_key': 'EMPTY',

    'generate_cfg': {
        'use_raw_api': True,  
        # Pass the parameter of whether to enable thinking mode in this way
        # 'extra_body': {
        #    'chat_template_kwargs': {'enable_thinking': True}
        # },
    },
}

# Define Tools
tools = [
    {'mcpServers': {  # You can specify the MCP configuration file
            "filesystem": {
                "command": "npx",
                "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/xxxx/Desktop"]
            }
        }
    }
]

# Define Agent
bot = Assistant(llm=llm_cfg, function_list=tools)

# Streaming generation
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Help me organize my desktop.'}]
for responses in bot.run(messages=messages):
    pass
print(responses)

# Streaming generation
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Develop a dog website and save it on the desktop'}]
for responses in bot.run(messages=messages):
    pass
print(responses)

Best Practices

To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:

Sampling Parameters:
- We suggest using the following sets of sampling parameters depending on the mode and task type:
  - Non-thinking mode for text tasks:
    temperature=1.0, top_p=1.00, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=2.0, repetition_penalty=1.0
  - Non-thinking mode for VL tasks:
    temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, ,

EXAMPLE #1

Executioner's Choice

<think>

This is an interesting creative writing task. I need to write a horror novel opening scene that introduces the protagonist in the context of the story idea (rebel against dictatorship).

The requirements are:

Start in the middle of action
Include dialog
Vivid passages
End on a cliffhanger (unexpected but relevant)
About 1000 words
Escalate in conflict and suspense
First person, present tense
POV character curses and swears with a "filthy" mouth

Let me think about what could make this unexpected:

Maybe the execution isn't quite what people expect
Maybe the horror element is internal/psychological
Maybe the "execution" has a twist - perhaps she's already dead and someone is resurrecting her?
Maybe the dictator is somehow alive and watching her
