Qwen3-0.6B

Apache-2.0 · Hugging Face / Featherless AI

0.6B parameters · Arabic and multiple dialects among 119 languages.

Before you buy · Issues & all

Strengths
Small footprint; Arabic responses arrived quickly in Souq's pilot. A candidate for simple drafting tasks.
Known issues & limits
In an earlier pilot it gave the wrong Saudi capital and stray characters appeared. Fluency is not factual accuracy.
Dialect verdict
No human dialect audit yet; test your own dialect and tasks before choosing.

Your primary-model choice is saved to your account; it does not grant an API key.

Purchase & use

Sales are not enabled yet: supplier terms, pricing and payments need confirmation — not a flawless model.

Before paying

  • Your chosen model, honest review and your test results.
  • Token pricing, spending cap, licence, data handling and cancellation terms.
  • Acknowledgement of limitations without waiving legal rights.

After paying · planned

  1. Credit and your own Souq access key, never the Hugging Face token.
  2. One OpenAI-compatible connection for your primary model.
  3. Usage, bills and key revocation in your account.
Request paid access
Owner setup
  1. Add Hugging Face credits and monitor spending; comparison uses two requests.
  2. Create a fine-grained token with Inference Providers call permission.
  3. Save HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY in project secrets, never chat. The token stays server-side.
  4. Signed-in members can compare. Publish changes to update the live site. Provider pricing (opens in a new tab on huggingface.co)
