Tuned Qwen 3.5 27B beats Step 3.5 on almost all benchmarks, so the point about the size class is moot.
replyBenchmarks are not interesting in deciding the "size class". Bigger size means more knowledge. Also, the Qwen 3.5 27B is a dense 27B active parameter model. StepFun 3.5 Flash has 11B active parameters.
