Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct (MoE, 480B total / 35B active, 160 experts, 256K native context to 1M w/ Yarn), non-thinking instruct/agentic-coding SKU; arXiv 2505.09388. HF card lists release 2025-05-14. Verified live on HF June 2026. Consolidated on 2026-07-29 from qwen2-5-coder-instruct; openness follows qwen3-coder, the release that currently governs.

Openness
3 high confidence- weights
- open(Apache-2.0, on HF)
- data
- closed(no training corpus released)
- code
- partial(inference/usage + chat template
- license
- Apache-2.0(OSI permissive, no use restrictions)
Apache-2.0 weights with a closed corpus and inference code only, so 3, consistent across both generations - Qwen2.5-Coder and Qwen3-Coder are both plain Apache with no use restrictions. Qwen3-Coder governs and contributes capability 4; adoption 4 is carried from Qwen2.5-Coder, which has had longer to accumulate downloads. Kept apart from the base Qwen tier because Alibaba ships and markets the Coder line separately.

Adoption
4 high confidence~1.36M downloads last month for the 32B-Instruct SKU alone on HF; the broader Qwen2.5-Coder family (0.5B-32B base+instruct) multiplies this. Squarely in the 1-10M reach band on measured monthly download volume.

~1,360,411 downloads last month
Capability
4 medium confidenceStrong open-weight coding model (Claude Sonnet-class agentic coding per vendor card), a notch below 2026 frontier coders (DeepSeek-V4-Pro/Kimi K2.6/GLM-5.1). HF card is vendor-reported; no independent SWE-bench number captured this run, so capped at 4 with medium confidence.
