Qwen: Qwen3 30B A3B
Analysis Summary
Qwen3 30B A3B is a mixture-of-experts model from Alibaba's Qwen3 family, released in April 2025, with 30B total parameters but only 3B active. Its intelligence index of 15.3 and coding index of 11.0 are solid for the price, and its math index of 72.3 and AIME score of 0.723 are standout figures, indicating strong quantitative reasoning. LiveCodeBench at 0.506 confirms real coding capability. Tool use and function calling are supported.
For businesses, it is well suited to coding assistance, mathematical analysis, and structured automation tasks. The 131K context window is adequate, and the MoE architecture means it runs efficiently relative to its parameter count. No vision support is a limitation for multimodal workflows, and agentic performance is modest at 14.1.
At $0.12 input and $0.50 output per million tokens, it offers excellent value for math-heavy and coding-focused workloads. Teams needing a cost-efficient model for technical tasks will find it competitive, though the -4 point regional penalty applies for provider accessibility in enterprise contexts.
