Qwen: Qwen3 Coder Next
The Qwen3 Coder Next is an AI model offered by vendor qwen, supporting text input modality and capable of handling context lengths up to 262144 tokens. It provides tools support but lacks reasoning capabilities, with no structured output option. Those seeking an affordable option for general-purpose text processing may consider shortlisting the Qwen3 Coder Next due to its competitive price point, with $0.12 per million input tokens and $0.8 per million output tokens. Although it scored 35.3 on a blended benchmark across three independent tests, its standing in specific categories is mixed; for instance, it achieved an AI Index score of 35.1 but only 14.6 in agentic tasks.
