Qwen3 is the third generation of Alibaba Cloud's large language model family (Tongyi Qianwen), released on April 28–29, 2025 under the Apache 2.0 license. The series includes eight open-weight models — six dense variants (0.6B–32B parameters) and two Mixture-of-Experts models (Qwen3-30B-A3B and Qwen3-235B-A22B) — as well as the proprietary API model Qwen3-Max with over 1 trillion parameters. All models support a hybrid reasoning mode (thinking/non-thinking) and were trained on approximately 36 trillion tokens covering 119 languages and dialects. The flagship Qwen3-235B-A22B scores 95.6 on ArenaHard, competing with models such as DeepSeek-R1, GPT-o1, and Gemini 2.5 Pro.
