Released

Qwen3-Coder is an AI model released by Qwen on Tuesday, Jul 22 2025, 84 days after Qwen3. It is an open-weight model — the trained weights are available to download and run. It is a 480B parameterThe learned values that shape how a model responds. B means billion and T means trillion. For mixture-of-experts models, the total count is larger than the number active for each token. Parameter count alone does not measure quality. model with a 256k token context windowHow much information the model can work with in one request, measured in tokens — pieces of words or other data. This includes your question, attachments, conversation and reply. Limits can vary by model variant and provider.. Benchmark results (shown below) cover BullshitBench v2.

Benchmarks

BullshitBench v2Nonsense detection — Given a confidently-worded but nonsensical prompt, does the AI spot that it makes no sense and push back — instead of playing along and inventing an answer? The score is how often it clearly called out the nonsense. Higher is better.

About

Qwen3-Coder was introduced on July 22, 2025 with the 480B-A35B-Instruct checkpoint: a mixture-of-experts coding model with 480 billion total parameters and 35 billion active per token. It had a native 256K context window, with extension to about one million tokens requiring the documented configuration.

Qwen released it alongside Qwen Code, a command-line agent adapted from Gemini CLI. The model targeted agentic programming, including tool calls and multi-step repository work. The model supplied generated instructions and code, while the surrounding agent software provided the tools and execution environment.
