Migrating to Qwen3.5-35B-A3B

Coming from OpenAI or another gateway? On an OpenAI-compatible setup the only changes are base_url → https://api.datallmlab.com/v1 and model → qwen/qwen3.5-35b-a3b. Messages, streaming, tool calls and the rest of your code stay the same. Routing & failover guide.

Self-host or use the API?

Qwen3.5-35B-A3B ships open weights (Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, ~1.9M downloads and 1.5K likes in the last 30 days), with community quantizations (fp8) for smaller GPUs, so you can run it yourself. Most teams still use the API: no GPU to provision or keep warm, no inference ops, and instant access across 9 providers with automatic failover. Self-host when data residency or fixed per-token economics matter most.

Rate limits & reliability

Rate limits here are the DataLLM Lab gateway's, not the upstream vendor's. On 429 (rate limited) or 503 (provider busy), retry with exponential backoff; because Qwen3.5-35B-A3B is served by 9 providers, requests can fail over to a healthy one automatically. See the error-code guide and failover setup.
