Qwen3
Alibaba's open-weight Qwen3 language models, dense and mixture-of-experts, from 0.6B to 235B-A22B.
Apache 2.0 weights you download and serve yourself, with 256K-token context in the 2507 releases.
This repository documents Qwen3, the open-weight language model family from the Qwen team. It suits developers and researchers who want to run capable models on their own hardware.
What it is
The README lists dense models at 0.6B, 1.7B, 4B, 8B, 14B and 32B plus mixture-of-experts 30B-A3B and 235B-A22B. The 2507 updates add Instruct and Thinking variants with 256K-token context, extendable to 1 million tokens. Docs cover llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, SGLang and TGI.
Who it's for
It suits teams that can supply GPUs or a capable machine and want no per-token bill. It does not suit anyone expecting a one-click app: you download weights from Hugging Face or ModelScope and pick a serving stack.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- Weights are under Apache 2.0, which the README states for all open-weight models.
- Small sizes run on modest hardware, big sizes scale up.
- Works with the common local runtimes.
- Long-context variants are available.
Where it falls short
- The repository has no LICENSE file at its root; licences are in each Hugging Face repo.
- Larger models need serious GPU memory.
- You manage serving, updates and safety filtering yourself.
Pricing & license
The weights are free under Apache 2.0. Alibaba also sells hosted Qwen access separately; the repo shows no price, so your cost is the hardware you run it on.
