Qwen3 235B A22B

Alibaba · Released Apr 2025

Compare

A 235B mixture-of-experts model from Alibaba's Qwen that activates 22B parameters per forward pass, with support for extended thinking mode for complex reasoning tasks.

Strengths
The MoE architecture provides computational efficiency by only activating a subset of parameters while maintaining the model's reasoning depth, and the thinking mode enables extended step-by-step reasoning for complex problems.
Best for
Tasks requiring complex reasoning, mathematical problem-solving, and multi-step analysis where thinking time is valuable.
Limitations
The thinking mode introduces latency compared to standard inference, and MoE models can be less predictable when routing decisions differ across runs on similar inputs.
