by Alibaba

Released 10 days after Qwen3 Max · All Alibaba releases

Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Instruct is an open-weight mixture-of-experts vision-language model that balances capability with efficiency through roughly 3B active parameters from a 30B base. With a 131K context window, it handles long documents, video understanding, and visual agent tasks. The model targets visual agent functions for PC and mobile GUI automation, code generation from images and video, OCR in 32 languages, and spatial perception for object positioning and viewpoint understanding. It fuses text and vision for multimodal comprehension alongside STEM reasoning. It is designed for cost-efficient deployment of visual agents, document processing pipelines, and multimodal RAG where lower latency and a smaller memory footprint matter relative to the 235B variant. The open-weight release supports local deployment, fine-tuning for specialized visual domains, and integration into automation loops.
