Sovereignty and hosting

Catalogue only

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

Summary

Qwen3 Next 80B A3B Thinking is an open-weight language model from Alibaba Qwen with an unpublished parameter count, published under Apache-2.0. The repository was created in September 2025 and is mirrored on Hugging Face. It takes text and returns text. The checkpoint is instruction-tuned and ships a chat template. The published configuration records no context window, so this card carries none. The card is catalogue-only: LLM EU does not run this model. The publisher states no language coverage on the model page.

Strong

Adequate

Not verified: the provider has not documented this claim. — a language is listed as strong only where a source claims it; the card links the evidence where one exists.

When to use it

Strengths

open weights are published on Hugging Face and can be downloaded without a vendor agreement
Apache-2.0 licence, so commercial self-hosting is permitted without a separate agreement
instruction-tuned checkpoint with a chat template in the repository

Limits

catalogue only — LLM EU does not run this model, and nothing on this card implies an LLM EU endpoint
no evaluation has been run by LLM EU
the published configuration records no context window, so the card carries none
the publisher states no parameter count in the harvested record
the hardware footprint cannot be estimated because no parameter count is published

Pricing

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

Verification status

Where a field has no source, the card shows it as unverified instead of filling it in. An empty field is information.

LLM EU Verified means documented, not legally certified. It is not an AI Act conformity assessment and LLM EU is not an EU body.

Example request

curl https://api.llmeu.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLMEU_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"qwen3-next-80b-a3b-thinking","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

No playground is deployed for this model: no endpoint serves it, so a request would have nowhere to go.

Benchmarks

No published evaluation. This is a gap, not a hidden result.
