70.6
Competitive with DeepSeek-V3.2 (70.2) at 671B
Strengths
- ・SWE-bench 70.6 at only 3B active parameters — competitive with 671B DeepSeek-V3.2 (70.2)
- ・Incredibly cheap: $0.07/$0.30 on Alibaba Cloud, $0.12/$0.75 on third-party providers
- ・Trained on 800K verifiable executable tasks with RL for long-horizon agent coding
- ・256K context for keeping entire codebases in a single session
- ・Apache 2.0 licensed — available for self-hosting and fine-tuning
Weaknesses
- ・Non-thinking mode only — does not support blocks
- ・SWE-bench Pro 44.3% leaves significant room for improvement on harder tasks
- ・Terminal-Bench 36.2% is notably lower than larger coding models
- ・80B total parameters still require ~46GB VRAM at 4-bit quantization
- ・Specialized for coding — may underperform on general knowledge tasks
