Alibaba Cloud's Qwen3 is a powerhouse family of open-weight large language models featuring a hybrid thinking architecture that balances deep reasoning with rapid-fire responses.

Alibaba Cloud designed Qwen3 to conquer the trade-off between inference depth and speed. Spanning dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures from 0.6B to 235B parameters, the suite introduces a dual-mode system: Thinking Mode (for complex math, coding, and multi-step logic) and Non-Thinking Mode (for low-latency, high-throughput production tasks). Backed by training on 36 trillion tokens, native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for seamless agent integration, and a 256K context window (expandable to 1 million tokens), Qwen3 delivers elite, cost-efficient intelligence directly to your local or cloud workflows.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [AI for Smart Home control](https://ottawa.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_TCYimty3wlo)

I have built an MVP of a complete home control solution. It supports control of devices in the home like thermostats, lights, blinds... using the Matter protocol and a local AI engine. The local AI is based on Gemma4 E4B for the embedded Jetson Orin Nano solution and Qween 3.5 9B for the Mac M4 MIni based solution. The solution supports a voice pipeline with Whisper STT and Kokoro TTS and allows the user to converse with the AI agent to setup automations, control devices... The MAC solutions uses mlx-lm and is optimized with prompt caching to reduce response times. The voice pipeline supports multi-turn conversations. The solution also includes an iPhone and Android based app to control the home and converse with the LLM.
