Evidence for: Alibaba has open-sourced models as large as 2.4T params, and Qwen3.5 397B A17B was the open counterpart to Qwen3.5 Plus — though Qwen3.6/3.7 Plus never got open-sourced. QwenDevs' 'big or small?' teaser likely refers to 27B and Max. An Apsara conference slide groups Flash and Plus together, possibly hinting at a shared architecture at different scales.
