Qwen3 8B Base

🚀 Qwen3-8B-Base

Qwen3-8B-Base is a powerful large language model. It comes with a series of advanced features and improvements, offering high - quality language processing capabilities.

🚀 Quick Start

The code of Qwen3 has been integrated into the latest Hugging Face transformers. We recommend using the latest version of transformers.

If you use transformers<4.51.0, you will encounter the following error:

✨ Features

Qwen3 Highlights

Qwen3 is the latest generation of large language models in the Qwen series, providing a comprehensive set of dense and mixture - of - experts (MoE) models. Based on significant advancements in training data, model architecture, and optimization techniques, Qwen3 offers the following key improvements over the previously released Qwen2.5:

• Expanded Higher - Quality Pre - training Corpus: Qwen3 is pre - trained on 36 trillion tokens in 119 languages, tripling the language coverage of Qwen2.5. It uses a much richer mix of high - quality data, including coding, STEM, reasoning, book, multilingual, and synthetic data.
• Training Techniques and Model Architecture: Qwen3 incorporates a series of training techniques and architectural refinements, such as the global - batch load balancing loss for MoE models and qk layernorm for all models, which improve stability and overall performance.
• Three - stage Pre - training: Stage 1 focuses on broad language modeling and general knowledge acquisition. Stage 2 enhances reasoning skills in areas like STEM, coding, and logical reasoning. Stage 3 improves long - context comprehension by extending the training sequence length up to 32k tokens.
• Scaling Law Guided Hyperparameter Tuning: Through comprehensive scaling law studies across the three - stage pre - training pipeline, Qwen3 systematically tunes critical hyperparameters (such as the learning rate scheduler and batch size) separately for dense and MoE models, resulting in better training dynamics and final performance across different model scales.
