Qwen: Qwen3 Coder Next

Qwen3-Coder-Next, a sparse MoE model with 80B total parameters (3B activated per token), is optimized for coding agents and local development. While its speed ranking indicates longer response times, placing it in the 15th percentile across benchmarks, it offers competitive pricing, ranking in the 52nd percentile. The model demonstrates exceptional reliability with a 99% success rate, consistently providing usable responses. In terms of performance across categories, Qwen3-Coder-Next shows strong capabilities in Ethics and General Knowledge, achieving perfect accuracy in Ethics and 99% in General Knowledge. Its Hallucinations accuracy is 94%, indicating a good ability to acknowledge uncertainty. Coding performance is solid at 89.5% accuracy. However, its Reasoning and Instruction Following scores are moderate at 79.6% and 59.6% respectively, suggesting areas for potential improvement. Notably, its duration for Reasoning was exceptionally long, placing it in the 1st percentile for speed in that category. The model's design for cost-sensitive, always-on agent deployment is supported by its competitive pricing and high reliability, making it a strong candidate for production coding agents despite its slower response times.
