Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct GGUF

GGUF quantizations of Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct for use with llama.cpp and Ollama.

Model Overview

Qwen3-Coder-480B is Alibaba's most powerful agentic coding model featuring:

• 480B total parameters with 35B active (MoE architecture)
• 256K native context (extendable to 1M with YaRN)
• Claude Sonnet-level performance on complex coding tasks
• Apache 2.0 license - fully open source

Available Quantizations

Quick Start with Ollama

# IQ2_XS quantization
ollama run richardyoung/qwen3-coder:iq2_xs "Write a Python REST API with FastAPI"

# With extended context
ollama run richardyoung/qwen3-coder:iq2_xs --num-ctx 65536 "Analyze this codebase..."

Quick Start with llama.cpp

# Download all IQ2_XS shards
huggingface-cli download richardyoung/Qwen3-Coder-480B-GGUF --include "IQ2_XS/*" --local-dir .

# Run with llama.cpp
./llama-cli -m IQ2_XS/Qwen_Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct-IQ2_XS-00001-of-00004.gguf \
  -c 32768 -n 2048 \
  -p "Write a binary search tree implementation in Python"
