About Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct

Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct is Alibaba's flagship open-source code generation and agentic model, released July 22, 2025 under the Apache 2.0 license. The model has 480 billion total parameters with 35 billion active parameters per token, organized across 62 transformer layers with 160 specialized expert networks and 8 experts activated per token. It uses Grouped Query Attention (GQA) with 96 query heads and 8 key-value heads and supports a native context window of 262,144 tokens, extendable to 1 million tokens via YaRN position scaling. The model is purpose-built for software engineering tasks and agentic workflows: code generation, code review, test writing, multi-step debugging, and browser-based agentic task execution. On release, it achieved state-of-the-art results among open models on Agentic Coding, Agentic Browser-Use, and Agentic Tool-Use benchmarks, with performance comparable to Claude Sonnet 4 on these tasks. Available via Fireworks AI, Google Vertex AI, NVIDIA NIM, AWS Bedrock, Novita AI, and the Vercel AI Gateway.
