What are the core modeling capabilities of Qwen3-Coder?

Qwen3-Coder's core capabilities are reflected in three aspects: firstly it is a Mixed Expert Model (MoE) with 48 billion parameters and 3.5 billion activated parameters, which is among the top scale in the code generation field. Secondly it supports a long context processing capability of 256K tokens natively, and even up to 1M tokens through YaRN extension technology, which is one of the leading context windows in current open source models. The third is its multimodal capability, which not only handles textual programming languages, but also integrates complex tools such as browser operations through agent tasks.

In terms of technical features, the model uses an innovative activation mechanism to activate only 3.5 billion parameters through dynamic routing techniques while maintaining large model capabilities, which dramatically reduces computational resource consumption. In terms of code repair capability, its Aider benchmark score is comparable to that of GPT-4o, and it is particularly good at handling complex code errors at the intersection of multiple languages.

The architectural strengths of the model make it particularly well suited for 1) enterprise-level code base analysis 2) cross-language project development and 3) automated workflow building. These features make it stand out from the open source modeling space.
