Is qwen3 good for coding?

In our benchmarks, qwen3 scores 73.7/100 for coding. It runs at about 35.7 tok/s, so if you want more speed, local-qwen is faster (~60.2 tok/s) and still scores well for coding (84.8/100).

Is qwen3 good for agentic (tool-using) tasks?

In our benchmarks, qwen3 scores 82.8/100 for agentic workflows. It runs at about 35.7 tok/s, so if you want more speed, granite-4.2-8b-Q4_K_L is faster (~71.6 tok/s) and still scores well for agentic workflows (92.9/100).

How fast is qwen3 for local inference?

Across 3 community benchmark runs, qwen3 reaches up to 38.8 tok/s and averages 35.7 tok/s, with the fastest results on AMD Radeon RX 6700/6700 XT/6750 XT / 6800M/6850M XT.
