About

Released April 29, 2025, Qwen3-235B-A22B is the flagship of the Qwen3 family: a mixture-of-experts model with 235B total and 22B active parameters, all under Apache 2.0. Its signature feature is hybrid thinking — one model that can reason step by step or answer instantly, toggled by the user. Pretraining covered about 36 trillion tokens across 119 languages and dialects. A July 2025 refresh split the modes into separate Instruct-2507 (262K native context) and Thinking-2507 checkpoints.

Limitations: full 235B needs datacenter GPUs; the hybrid thinking toggle adds prompt complexity versus single-mode models. Alibaba's benchmark claims are vendor-reported and the 2507 split means checking exactly which checkpoint a result refers to.
