QWEN TEAM / 2025
Qwen3-30B-A3B
A 30.5B-parameter reference MoE with 3.3B active parameters and a broadly accessible artifact footprint.
DECISION BRIEF
Accessible MoE development
Eight of 128 experts activate per token. The exact pinned BF16 manifest is 61.1 GB, making it a practical reference case for the residency engine.
Publicly available checkpoints; verify terms before commercial deployment.
Unknown remains explicit until the exact checkpoint license is verified and sourced.
Architecture values are linked to the publishing organization.
ARCHITECTURE
Compute is sparse. Residency is not.
Eight of 128 experts activate per token. The exact pinned BF16 manifest is 61.1 GB, making it a practical reference case for the residency engine.
Expert topology: 128 / top-8. The active-parameter count approximates token-level compute; it does not determine checkpoint memory, KV-cache demand, expert placement, or interconnect pressure.

NEXT ACTION
Test the workload, not the headline.
Start with checkpoint residency, then layer in context, concurrency, runtime overhead, topology, and resilience.
Build an assurance plan
