Apodex released Apodex-1.1-mini, a 36 billion-parameter reasoning model based on Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, under an Apache 2.0 license. The company positions it for long-horizon research tasks that work across files, datasets, code and tools, and published several quantized variants through Hugging Face. Apodex says its Agent Team setup scored 50.2 on FrontierFinance and 27.7 on APEX-Agent. Those benchmark results are vendor-reported, and the model card says relevant benchmark-hosting sites were blocked during evaluation to reduce answer leakage.
