Qwen2.5-Coder-3B
Mid-size 3B Qwen2.5 code model under a research license.
About
Qwen2.5-Coder-3B is the 3-billion-parameter member of Alibaba's Qwen2.5-Coder series, released in November 2024 with the 0.5B, 14B, and 32B sizes. It offers stronger code generation and reasoning than the 1.5B while still fitting modest hardware.
Unlike its siblings, the 3B is distributed under the Qwen-Research license rather than Apache 2.0, so commercial deployment needs a separate arrangement. Flag this clearly before adopting it in products.
