Frequently Asked Questions about Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking)

How much does the Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) API cost per 1M tokens?+

Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) by Alibaba is priced at $0 per 1M input tokens and $0 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 0% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) pay-as-you-go API?+

A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.

How many words and pages fit in Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking)'s context window?+

Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) features a 131K tokens context window, which equals approximately 98,304 English words or ~262 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 16,384 tokens.

Can I run Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) (80B total (3B active MoE)) releases open weights that can be self-hosted locally or on private cloud GPUs using vLLM, Ollama, SGLang, or llama.cpp.

Does Alibaba train on data sent to the Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) API, and is commercial use allowed?+

100% Isolated when self-hosted on private GPUs or VPC. License tier: Permissive Open-Weights (Apache 2.0 / MIT Commercial). Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: Self-Hosted GPU (vLLM / Ollama), Private VPC, or Managed Serverless API.

How does Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+

Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 82/100, scoring 46% on SWE-bench Verified, 68.5% on GPQA Diamond, 80% on MMLU-Pro, and 1345 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.

What is Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) best used for?+

Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (Thinking) is best suited for: local matériel raisonnement, scientifique problem-solving, et sur-premises mathématiques tutoring. Assessment: un masterclass dans sparse MoE raisonnement efficacité, packing de pointe logique dans léger inférence.
