Qwen 3 Coder 30B A3B is the smaller open Coder configuration. The MoE checkpoint activates 3.3 billion of 30.5 billion parameters and runs in non-thinking mode. Input remains text-only.

It has 128 experts and activates eight per token. The native context window is 262,144 tokens, and the weights use Apache-2.0. Compared with Qwen 3 Coder 480B A35B, the total model size drops sharply.
