Tool useReasoning

Why it stands out

131K-token context window handles longer documents and multi-turn conversations without truncation.
Combines tool use with reasoning — a strong baseline for agentic and multi-step workflows.
$0.455/M input makes it practical for always-on agents, batch processing, or high-volume classification.

What to watch

Text-only input — image or audio workflows require a separate model in the pipeline.
No benchmark score currently tracked — evaluate using task-specific testing alongside pricing and capability data.

April 28, 2025

Qwen3-235B-A22B is a 235B parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model developed by Qwen, activating 22B parameters per forward pass. It supports seamless switching between a "thinking" mode for complex reasoning, math, and code tasks, and a "non-thinking" mode for general conversational efficiency. The model demonstrates strong reasoning ability, multilingual support (100+ languages and dialects), advanced instruction-following, and agent tool-calling capabilities. It natively handles a 32K token context window and extends up to 131K tokens using YaRN-based scaling.
