Qwen3 Next 80B A3B (Instruct)

Added Sep 11, 2025Open weights

Based on the new Qwen3‑Next architecture (hybrid attention, highly sparse MoE, training‑stability optimizations, and multi‑token prediction), the Qwen3‑Next‑80B‑A3B‑Instruct model delivers extreme efficiency with only 3B active parameters per pass. It performs comparably to Qwen3‑235B‑A22B‑Instruct‑2507 and shows clear advantages on ultra‑long context tasks (up to 256K tokens).
