Apple quietly drops a Qwen3.5-9B finetune on Hugging Face that shrinks docs to page images

Apple has released a new model on Hugging Face: a finetune of Qwen3.5-9B with a clever trick for long documents. It converts long documents into small page images to save tokens, then only pulls the full text of pages relevant to the user's question. The release signals Apple's continued presence in open-weight models and offers a token-efficient approach to document retrieval.
