About
Qwen3-Coder-Next-FP8 Highlights Today, we're announcing Qwen3-Coder-Next-FP8, an open-weight language model designed specifically for coding agents and local development. It features the following key enhancements: - Super Efficient with Significant Performance: With only 3B activated parameters (80B total parameters), it achieves performance comparable to models with 10–20x more active parameters, making it highly cost-effective for agent deployment. - Advanced Agentic Capabilities: Through an elaborate training recipe, it excels at long-horizon reasoning, complex tool usage, and recovery from execution failures, ensuring robust performance in dynamic coding tasks. - Versatile Integration with Real-World IDE: Its 256k context length, combined with adaptability to various scaffold templates, enables seamless integration with different CLI/IDE platforms (e.g., Claude Code, Qwen Code, Qoder, Kilo, Trae, Cline, etc.), supporting diverse development environments. [!Note] This repository contains the FP8-quantized Qwen3-Coder-Next model checkpoint for convenience and performance. The quantization method is "fine-grained fp8" quantization with block size of 128. You can find more details in the quantizationconfig field in config.json. In addition, the experimental results presented in this model card are obtained from the original bfloat16 model prior to FP8 quantization.
