This model is deprecated. We only continue performance benchmarking for the default 10k input token workload. Results for other workloads are historical and no longer updated.

Alibaba has launched a newer model, Qwen3 30B A3B 2507 (Non-reasoning). We suggest considering it instead.

For more information, see comparison of Qwen3 30B A3B 2507 (Non-reasoning) to other models and API provider benchmarks for Qwen3 30B A3B 2507 (Non-reasoning).
