Qwen: Qwen3 30B A3B

qwen/qwen3-30b-a3b

Model weights
Compare

Qwen3, the latest generation in the Qwen large language model series, features both dense and mixture-of-experts (MoE) architectures to excel in reasoning, multilingual support, and advanced agent tasks. Its unique ability to switch seamlessly between a thinking mode for complex reasoning and a non-thinking mode for efficient dialogue ensures versatile, high-quality performance.

Significantly outperforming prior models like QwQ and Qwen2.5, Qwen3 delivers superior mathematics, coding, commonsense reasoning, creative writing, and interactive dialogue capabilities. The Qwen3-30B-A3B variant includes 30.5 billion parameters (3.3 billion activated), 48 layers, 128 experts (8 activated per task), and supports up to 131K token contexts with YaRN, setting a new standard among open-source models.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

API

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.
