Open-weight Qwen coding-agent model for software engineering, tool calling, structured outputs, and long-context developer workflows.
Qwen3-Coder-Next is an Alibaba Qwen coding-agent model. The official Qwen Hugging Face model card describes it as an open-weight model with 80B total parameters, 3B active parameters, Apache-2.0 licensing, a 262,144-token context length, tool-calling examples, and deployment guidance. The QwenLM GitHub repository says it is built on Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Base with hybrid attention and MoE, and is trained for executable coding tasks, environment interaction, and reinforcement learning. Alibaba Cloud Model Studio documentation shows qwen3-coder-next can be called through OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions with a Model Studio API key and DashScope-compatible endpoint.
Use for coding-agent and software-engineering workflows where Qwen model compatibility is desired. Use when you need long-context coding assistance; the Qwen model card lists a 262 144-token context length. Use for tool-calling or function-calling style developer workflows supported by the model card and Alibaba Cloud documentation. Use when you want an Apache-2.0 open-weight coding model with deployment guidance from Qwen.
