Overview

Qwen3-235B (Qwen3-235B-A22B) is the flagship language model of the Qwen3 generation, developed by the Qwen team at Alibaba Cloud and released on 29 April 2025. It is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 235 billion total parameters, of which 22 billion are active per token.

Its architecture includes 94 layers, grouped-query attention (GQA, 64 query heads and 4 key-value heads) and 128 experts, 8 of which are active per token. The model supports a 128,000-token context window and a hybrid reasoning mode: “Thinking” (step-by-step reasoning) and “Non-Thinking” (fast responses), with a controllable thinking budget.

Qwen3-235B is optimized for coding and agentic capabilities, with strengthened support for the MCP (Model Context Protocol) for tool integration, and supports 119 languages and dialects. In benchmarks it achieves results competitive with models such as DeepSeek-R1, o1, o3-mini, Grok-3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.

The model is released under the Apache 2.0 license (open weights on Hugging Face and ModelScope), permitting commercial and non-commercial use, self-hosting and fine-tuning. It belongs to Alibaba’s Qwen3 model family.

Capabilities and applications

Native model capabilities
Reasoning
The model's ability to reason logically and solve complex problems.
Category: reasoning
Multi-step reasoning
Carrying out multi-step chains of reasoning across long, complex tasks.
Category: reasoning
Mathematical reasoning
The model's ability to solve mathematical tasks requiring multi-step reasoning — equations, proofs, combinatorics, geometry, calculus and competition-level problems.
Category: reasoning
Coding
Generating, analysing and modifying code in many programming languages. Covers writing functions, debugging, refactoring, code review, and creating tests. Measured by benchmarks such as HumanEval and SWE-bench.
Category: coding
Agentic coding
Multi-hour, multi-step programming tasks performed autonomously by the model: cloning a repository, running tests, iterating on fixes, integrating with CLI tools. Characteristic of Codex variants (GPT-5.1-Codex-Mini, Codex-Max).
Category: coding
Agentic capability
The model's ability to autonomously plan and execute multi-step tasks by sequentially using tools, maintaining context, and adapting to intermediate results.
Category: planning
Tool use
The model's ability to call external functions, APIs and tools during a conversation: calculator, search engine, code editor, database. The model decides when and how to use a tool and interprets its result.
Category: planning
MCP support
Native support for the Model Context Protocol - the model can integrate with external MCP servers, invoke their tools, and use their data sources without a dedicated wrapper.
Category: other
Long context
Support for large context windows — tens to hundreds of thousands (or millions) of input tokens. Enables analysis of entire codebases, long documents, and many parallel conversations without losing earlier information. GPT-5.1 supports 400,000 tokens.
Category: language
Multilingual
Competence in many natural languages (from a few to over a hundred): understanding, generation, translation, and code-switching within a single conversation. Frontier models support a wide range of languages with comparable quality.
Category: language
Structured output
Producing data in structured formats such as JSON.
Category: structured_generation
Extended thinking mode
A reasoning-model variant with a larger inference budget: more thinking cycles, higher answer precision at the cost of response time. Choice between 'standard' and 'extended' thinking is left to the user (e.g. the selector in GPT-5.2 Pro).
Category: reasoning
Adaptive reasoning effort
The model decides how much 'thinking' to allocate to a given query: simple questions are answered quickly, complex problems receive more inference cycles. A GPT-5.1 feature (both Instant and Thinking) that shortens time on easy tasks and extends it for hard ones.
Category: reasoning
Language modeling
Ability to predict subsequent tokens and generate coherent natural-language text based on the preceding context.
