My experience with qwen3.5 9b has not been the same. It’s definitely good at agentic responses but it hallucinates a lot. 30%-50% of the content it generated for a research task (local code repo exploration) turned out to be plain wrong to the extent of made up file names and function names. I ran its output through KimiK2 and asked it to verify its output - which found out that much of what it had figured out after agentic exploration was plain wrong. So use smaller models but be very cautious how much you depend on their output.
