Qwen3-Coder-Next Quietly Tops SWE-rebench
Story
Qwen3-Coder-Next (80B total, ~3B active parameters, instruct not thinking) is #1 on SWE-rebench at Pass@5, beating all proprietary models on fresh monthly coding tasks. At 3B active params, the open-source coding model gap to frontier has effectively closed. (SWE-rebench)
