Parent Models
Both parents share the identical Qwen3.5-35B-A3B architecture (40 layers, 256 experts, GDN+MoE hybrid). The Mother is a LoRA SFT on the same base — not a different architecture. "Text-only" refers to the training data (Claude 4.6 Opus reasoning chains), not the model structure.
| Role | Model | Architecture | Training |
|---|---|---|---|
| Father | Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B | Qwen3.5-35B-A3B | Original pre-training + RLHF |
| Mother | Jackrong/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled | Qwen3.5-35B-A3B (same) | LoRA SFT with text-only Claude reasoning chains |
