About this model

Qwen3-Next uses a highly sparse MoE design: 80B total parameters, but only ~3B activated per inference step. Experiments show that, with global load balancing, increasing total expert parameters while keeping activated experts fixed steadily reduces training loss.Compared to Qwen3’s MoE (128 total experts, 8 routed), Qwen3-Next expands to 512 total experts, combining 10 routed experts + 1 shared expert — maximizing resource usage without hurting performance. The Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Thinking excels at complex reasoning tasks — outperforming higher-cost models like Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507 and Qwen3-32B-Thinking, outpeforming the closed-source Gemini-2.5-Flash-Thinking on multiple benchmarks, and approaching the performance of our top-tier model Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507. MiniRouter supports text input only.
