Qwen: Qwen3 235B A22B Thinking 2507

qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-thinking-2507

Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507 is a high-performance, open-weight Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model optimized for complex reasoning tasks. It activates 22B of its 235B parameters per forward pass and natively supports up to 262,144 tokens of context. This "thinking-only" variant enhances structured logical reasoning, mathematics, science, and long-form generation, showing strong benchmark performance across AIME, SuperGPQA, LiveCodeBench, and MMLU-Redux. It enforces a special reasoning mode (</think>) and is designed for high-token outputs (up to 81,920 tokens) in challenging domains.

The model is instruction-tuned and excels at step-by-step reasoning, tool use, agentic workflows, and multilingual tasks. This release represents the most capable open-source variant in the Qwen3-235B series, surpassing many closed models in structured reasoning use cases.

Providers

Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick — Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Exacto (one fixed provider).

Effective Pricing

The chart below shows the average price customers are actually paying after prompt caching. Depending on the amount of repeated context you send, this can be 60–80% cheaper than the provider list price. Shown are rolling averages from the past 30 days.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations. Higher percentages are better — and rank percentile shows where this model lands among all models on OpenRouter.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
