Qwen3-Coder-Next · 80B A3B

Qwen3-Coder-Next is an open-weight text-generation model from Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-Next, licensed under apache-2.0. It is designed specifically for coding agents and local development. The model has 80B total parameters with 3B activated parameters, a 262,144-token native context length, and a hybrid architecture combining Gated DeltaNet, Gated Attention, and Mixture-of-Experts layers. It supports only non-thinking mode and does not generate thinking blocks.

What do these scores mean?

Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.

Freshness · release age

A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.

Check the date source
Popularity · adoption

Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.

round(80 × min(1, log10(1 + downloads) / 7) + 20 × min(1, log10(1 + likes) / 5))

Mistral Small 4 · 119B

Mistral Small 4 119B A6B is an Apache-2.0 licensed hybrid model from mistralai that combines general instruction, reasoning, and Devstral-style capabilities in one model. It uses a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 119B total parameters, 6.5B activated per token, 128 experts with 4 active, and a 256k context length. It supports multimodal input (text and image) with text output, multilingual support across dozens of languages, system prompts, function calling, JSON output, and configurable reasoning effort. The model card also mentions optional efficiency resources: an eagle head for speculative decoding and an NVFP4 checkpoint. It is tagged for vLLM and offered in safetensors format.
