Adding support for Qwen 3.5 #935

Description

@markshenouda

Problem description

Can you add Qwen 3.5 models to the supported models?

Proposed solution

Idk but I'm currently researching myself how to convert the model to .pte format so it can be compatible with react-native-executorch

Alternative solutions

No response

Benefits to React Native ExecuTorch

I tested the model in Ollama locally and it's much better than anything I tested before, even the 0.8b version is so good, I believe it will be a big win to the package if you supported it

Additional context

    I guess this is what we needed: pytorch/executorch#18388, cc: @NorbertKlockiewicz

    @msluszniak -- the PR you mentioned above is MoE model. Is that what you wanted?

    The dense variant of qwen3.5 model is https://github.com/pytorch/executorch/tree/main/examples/models/qwen3_5, there's also an outstanding PR here pytorch/executorch#18088

    Indeed, pytorch/executorch#18088 is what we need, thank you for pointing out :))

    I think this is not true, to fully support qwen 3.5, we should iterate over this one.

    MiniCPM5-2B is a comparable on-device alternative.
