qwen/qwen3-coder-30b-a3b-instruct
Model weightsQwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct is a 30.5B parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 128 experts (8 active per forward pass), designed for advanced code generation, repository-scale understanding, and agentic tool use. Built on the Qwen3 architecture, it supports a native context length of 256K tokens (extendable to 1M with Yarn) and performs strongly in tasks involving function calls, browser use, and structured code completion.
This model is optimized for instruction-following without “thinking mode”, and integrates well with OpenAI-compatible tool-use formats.
Providers
Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick: Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Floor (cheapest).

Pricing
The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance
Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime
Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.
