This model is included in Elosia plans
Eco
Minimal cost. Ideal for very high volume or simple tasks.
Sparse mixture of experts with 125B parameters and only 6B active per token, drawn from 512 experts, plus a separate n-gram embedding table that scales capacity without adding compute
Hybrid attention pairing Gated DeltaNet with Qwen Sparse Attention, which selects micro-blocks rather than single tokens to cut long-context latency
Native image and video input through a built-in vision encoder, trained for GUI agents on desktop, mobile and web as well as chart and document analysis
Built for agents: tool calling, switchable thinking, and reasoning preserved across turns by default for consistent multi-step decisions
Open weights in BF16 and FP8, served by vLLM, SGLang and TokenSpeed
Limitations
Limited factual knowledge density, measured independently, in line with its small active parameter count
The Qwen Community License requires a separate agreement for commercial model-as-a-service use or for AI coding and office assistants
Published scores cover the open-weight Flash-Next checkpoint, an experimental preview of the architecture; the API version adds production features without its own benchmark table
Qwen publishes no Terminal-Bench 2.1 or MMMU-Pro score; the ones shown come from third-party testing
