Alibaba (Qwen) · 4 February 2026

Open 80B-A3B coding-agent model on the Qwen3-Next hybrid architecture; company says over 70% on SWE-bench Verified with 3B active parameters.

Starts from Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Base and trains on about 800,000 verifiable, executable coding tasks with environment feedback and RL. 262K native context; works with Claude Code, Qwen Code, Cline and others. Alibaba claims 10-20x fewer active parameters than comparable peers. Apache 2.0.

Official release 2026-02-04 per press; Hugging Face weights were uploaded 2026-01-30. Technical report arXiv 2603.00729 (20 authors, 2026-02-28) confirms base and instruct weights and an agentic-training recipe; its abstract reports 'competitive' SWE-Bench and Terminal-Bench results relative to active parameters without a headline number. The 'over 70% on SWE-bench Verified' figure comes via press (using the SWE-Agent scaffold). Alibaba Cloud lists the hosted qwen3-coder-next on 2026-02-20.
