Qwen3.6 35B-A3B

Qwen's model, with open weights. Forcebench has run it in 1 configuration on the Local board, plus 1 on the lite subset. API is models reached through a hosted service; Local, models served on Forcebench’s own hardware.

On the Local board

Models served on Forcebench’s own hardware. Qwen3.6 35B-A3B is ranked by its one configuration: the ninth-highest score of 9 models, not clearly different from 3 other models. Scores are within 3 attempts (c@3) with 95% intervals; each configuration is compared with the highest-scoring one by whether their 95% intervals overlap. Every configuration on the board →

    In the studies

    Private evaluations

    Want this for your team?

    Azul Labs runs Forcebench privately for two kinds of Salesforce team.

    Choosing a model to run yourself?

    A private benchmark of your shortlist

    Open-weight models at the quantisations and reasoning efforts you could run on infrastructure you control, tested on your kind of Salesforce work, with a written recommendation.

    • Private tasks written from your work only ever run on local models; they are never sent to an API.
    • Re-testing after any change of model, quantisation or engine is available.
    • Typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks; large models take about a day of machine time per configuration.
    Get a private benchmarkHow it works

    Building or buying a Salesforce AI tool?

    A private evaluation of your tool

    Your tool on held-out tasks it has never seen, against API baselines (models reached through a hosted service) and Local ones (served on Forcebench’s own hardware), with a written report on where it holds up and where it fails.

    • It can start as a smaller pilot, about 30 held-out tasks with your tool against two baselines, before a full evaluation.
    • Repeat evaluations after your releases are available.
    • Typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks.

    Fixed fee, quoted up front. The quote depends on the number of tasks and the number of models, tools or configurations tested.
