Qwen

Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking is a language model from Qwen. It does not hold a position on ModelCap's current board yet; it is placed automatically once its model card or a public benchmark compares it with ranked models. It is listed at $0.29 per million input tokens and $1.00 per million output tokens from one provider. It reads up to 262K tokens of context, and its weights are openly downloadable.

Not independent measurement

Structured rows reported in this exact model repository at the pinned revision below. They are the publisher talking about itself: never measured evidence, never a score input on their own. They remain quarantined until dataset revision, harness, configuration and identity pass ModelCap’s independent admission review.

These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking: common questions

How does Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking rank among AI models?

Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking has no public ModelCap Index position as of 6 November 2026: the snapshot lacks enough matched benchmark evidence, or the identity match is unresolved. Its catalogue facts (price, context, providers) are shown without a rank.

How much does Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking cost per 1M tokens?

Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking is listed at $0.29 per 1M input tokens and $1.00 per 1M output tokens as of 6 November 2026. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $1.08 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.

What is the context window of Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking?

Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking has a published context window of 262K tokens (262,144). The snapshot lists a 235,929 token catalogue-declared route output cap. OpenRouter catalogue or provider-endpoint declaration. Limits can vary by provider and prompt length; a model-wide maximum has not been independently verified. The providers table lists each endpoint's context limit.

Is Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking open-weight?

Open weights (apache-2.0). Downloadable weights are published under an OSI or free-culture license in the current repository metadata. This describes weight availability, not whether the full training stack qualifies as Open Source AI. The repository is Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Thinking on Hugging Face.

Which API providers serve Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking?

One provider serves Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking through OpenRouter as of 6 November 2026: SiliconFlow. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.

When was Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking released?

Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking first appeared in the catalogue on 6 Oct 2025, with a published knowledge cutoff of 2025-03-31. It is the current version in its family. Rank and price movements since then are recorded on the site's changes feed.
