Alibaba released a whole set of new Qwen 3.5 models including a ~120B and a ~35B MoE.

Nice. 27B looks reasonable too.

First impressions of Qwen3.5 35b are that it's amazing

Amazing compared to local models or? How would you compare it to, say, Sonnet 4.5 and Qwen3 Coder Next?

I'm guessing it's fast due to 3B experts
