Qwen: Qwen3 Coder Next

qwen/qwen3-coder-next

Model weights

Qwen3-Coder-Next is an open-weight causal language model optimized for coding agents and local development workflows. It uses a sparse MoE design with 80B total parameters and only 3B activated per token, delivering performance comparable to models with 10 to 20x higher active compute, which makes it well suited for cost-sensitive, always-on agent deployment.

The model is trained with a strong agentic focus and performs reliably on long-horizon coding tasks, complex tool usage, and recovery from execution failures. With a native 256k context window, it integrates cleanly into real-world CLI and IDE environments and adapts well to common agent scaffolds used by modern coding tools. The model operates exclusively in non-thinking mode and does not emit <think> blocks, simplifying integration for production coding agents.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request without routing.

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations and this model’s own outputs on shared benchmark prompts. Higher percentages are better — and each rank shows where this model lands among the models evaluated on that source.
