Qwen3 Next 80B A3B Instruct

by Alibaba

Qwen3 Next 80B A3B Instruct is an open-weight, 80-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model that activates only about 3 billion parameters per token, sharply reducing compute while keeping strong performance. It uses a hybrid attention design combining Gated DeltaNet and Gated Attention, with 512 experts and 10 activated per token, and reaches results comparable to much larger models on knowledge, reasoning, and coding benchmarks. The model runs in instruct mode only and does not emit reasoning traces, so it favors rapid, direct responses. Alibaba reports more than 10x higher inference throughput than Qwen3-32B for contexts beyond 32K tokens, making it efficient on long inputs. With a 131K context window, it is well suited to production RAG, tool-calling agents, and agentic orchestration where cost efficiency and latency matter. Its open-weight release allows local deployment and fine-tuning for specialized domains.
