As of October 20, 2026, Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking ranks #160 of 213 models overall with 9.5 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking costs $0.29 per million input tokens and $1.00 per million output tokens. It was released on October 6, 2025.
Its output price ranks 131 of 349 priced models, counting from the cheapest.
Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Thinking is a multimodal model that unifies strong text generation with visual understanding for images and videos. Its Thinking variant enhances reasoning in STEM, math, and complex tasks. It excels...
qwen/qwen3-vl-30b-a3b-thinking The tick on a coding bar is the median of every model measured on it. Outside coding, the place is this model's rank on that board. A board that never ran the model says so.
Measured in 0 of 6 categories. A place counts only the models measured on that board.
No coding benchmark has measured this model, so there is no index. We do not estimate one from its price, its maker or its siblings. How it is weighted

A list price says what a token costs. The cost per solved task says what a working answer costs, which is the number that decides.
Neither board that publishes what a SWE-bench Verified attempt costs, Vals AI and swebench.com, has run this model. We leave the number out rather than estimate it.
Beside a result, many boards publish what the run cost, how long it took, the tokens it spent or the votes behind a rating. Each figure as its board printed it, one board per row.
No board publishes what its run of this model cost, how long it took or what it spent.
No comparison page of its own yet: one needs a coding index on both sides, and Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking has none. Compare Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Thinking with any model
