Fixes #288

Evaluation of Qwen3.5-35B-A3B (MoE, 35B total / 3B active) for local deployment as privacy-sensitive tier under Vitalik's Secure LLM Architecture (Epic #281).

Verdict: APPROVED -- 8.8/10 weighted security score

Highlights:

  • Data locality (10/10): all inference local via Ollama, zero exfiltration
  • No API keys (10/10), no telemetry (10/10)
  • Privacy filter elimination (9/10): PII never leaves machine
  • MoE: 35B quality at 3B inference speed, 128K context, Apache 2.0
  • VRAM: 20GB at Q4 (fits M2 Ultra, M4 Pro, RTX 4090, RunPod L40S)
  • Integration: ollama pull qwen3.5:35b -> config.yaml privacy_model

Scripts: scripts/evaluate_qwen35.py + tests/test_evaluate_qwen35.py (9 tests)
