Qwen Team Releases Qwen3-Coder, a Large Agentic Coding Model with Open Tooling
Briefly

Qwen Team introduced Qwen3-Coder, a family of advanced code models built for complex programming tasks requiring long contexts. The leading model, Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct, utilizes 480 billion parameters with a focus on execution, decision-making, and adaptability. It supports native handling of 256K tokens and extends to 1 million for large inputs. This model incorporates post-training reinforcement learning, ensuring generated code functions correctly. Qwen also developed Qwen Code, an open-source command-line interface that facilitates enhanced coding support for various programming environments.
