What is Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B Instruct?

What Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B Instruct is for

Smaller Qwen coder for efficient local agents and repo-level fixes. The registry places it in the qwen family with a release date of 2025-04. This profile describes its documented interface and how to evaluate it for the intended task.

Inputs and request limits

The recorded inputs are text, with text output. The registry lists a 262,144-token context window and up to 65,536 output tokens. It also declares function calling. These are specifications, not a measured quality or speed ranking. A host can impose its own request limits and support a different subset of features.

Deployment and cost

The registry marks Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B Instruct as an open-weight model. Check the linked checkpoint’s licence and runtime requirements before downloading or deploying it. Open weights describe availability, while licence terms determine permitted use. Local inference still requires hardware; a hosted route can charge separately.

No independently checked token rate is added from a hosting alias. Use the route’s current price and billing unit when comparing cost, including output, reasoning, cache behavior and retries where applicable.

What to test

Use real repository tasks with a reproducible starting state. Review the patch, run the existing checks and include cases that require several tool calls. Count accepted changes and time to a verified result, including unsuccessful attempts.

Evidence and related models

This is a registry-sourced profile. A model-specific publisher document has not yet been confirmed; access and specifications should be checked before an integration decision. SyncDev has not independently benchmarked Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B Instruct.
