Qwen 3 Next 80B A3B Instruct separates direct answers from the Thinking checkpoint built on the same 80B-A3B foundation. Three billion of its 80 billion parameters are active per token; the instruct variant accepts text and runs in non-thinking mode. The native window is 262,144 tokens, with extension to 1,010,000 according to the model card.

For visible reasoning, use the equally sized Qwen 3 Next 80B A3B Thinking checkpoint. They share the MoE foundation and use Apache-2.0.

Documented method · Included test families and measurements

Method version: benchmark-meta-score-v3

The index includes active measurements from reviewed primary sources when at least five models are compared in the same documented comparison slice across dataset, harness, agent, tools, and trial count. Each benchmark series and evaluator contributes one shared setup slice from the newest capture. When one source and series include several explicitly documented reasoning tiers, the highest documented tier (none through max) is selected, never the best result value. The explicit source label “Non-reasoning” is treated as none. Unknown or ambiguous tiers exclude the model from that series. Within each series, percentages and rates are logit-transformed, other units stay unchanged, and all values are then standardized. A one-factor model then estimates one shared strength per model and, per series, how sharply it separates the models. Area scores move away from that strength only as far as the model's own results in the area support. The overall score weights the core areas at 75% and finance, law and health at 25%. It requires at least eight test series from two sources and three areas. The 0 to 100 scale refers to a fixed reference group of 29 language models whose average sits at 50.

Published model-specific parameters can differ. This is not a controlled experiment; comparisons with such differences are marked provisional.

Unmeasured series are not entered as zero. Where a model has no own results in a core area, its overall strength stands in, and the note “estimated without own results in …” names the area. Fewer test series lead to a larger standard error.

The 95% interval follows from the standard error of 200 recalculations with randomly redrawn test families. It describes how precisely the recorded test series determine the value. It is no prediction for future tasks or for later recalculations with other participants.

The source count is not a count of independent experiments.

Benchmark sources at a glance

Each evaluator measures different capabilities under its own conditions. Test series, composite indices and their components stay separate. The detailed results below retain their scales, configurations and source dates.

Evaluator	Test series	Composite indices	Recorded active measurements
Artificial Analysis	2	1	11

Coverage is not a quality ranking. Overlapping tests and multiple settings do not count as independent experiments. Vendor claims, historical and disputed results are excluded from this overview and remain labelled in the detailed evidence.

6 measurements from these sources still lack a verified test-family identity and do not increase the test-series count.

Measurements without matching peer values

These measurements have no matching peer values under the same test conditions. Their original values and sources remain available here.
