Qwen3 Coder 30B A3B Instruct

Qwen3 Coder 30B A3B Instruct is a streamlined member of the Qwen3-Coder family, positioned for advanced code generation and agentic software tasks. Its mixture-of-experts architecture combines 30.5 billion parameters with 128 experts while activating 8 for each forward pass, aiming to balance broad coding capability with more efficient computation than activating the full parameter set.

The model is especially suited to coding workflows that require work across substantial repositories, including interpreting code, generating implementations, and interacting with tools. A community-distributed Q4 K XL build demonstrates local use in coding tools such as Claude Code and OpenCode, while OpenRouter describes an intended role in repository-scale understanding and agentic tool use. Exact context and pricing claims are not included here because the supplied evidence reports differing service-specific values.
