What changed
- Routed experts per MoE layer: 512 → 154 (30.08% retained; 69.92% pruned).
- Activated routed experts per token: 10 (unchanged).
- Router rows were remapped to the retained experts.
- Dense, attention, shared-expert, tokenizer, and chat-template weights are unchanged.
- No fine-tuning was performed after pruning.
- Experts were selected independently in each layer using importance
scores computed from successful, submitted SWE-style agent trajectories.
The checkpoint uses the official Qwen FP8 block-quantized format and is directly
loadable by recent vLLM/Transformers versions that support Qwen3NextForCausalLM.
Parameter count
Quantization scale tensors are excluded from learned-parameter counts.
Table with columns: Metric, Exact count, Model-name convention| Metric | Exact count | Model-name convention |
|---|
| Total learned parameters | 25,593,035,520 | 26B |
| Activated parameters per token | 3,849,763,584 | A3B |
| Routed-expert parameters | 23,253,221,376 | — |
| Always-active parameters | 2,339,814,144 | — |
The A3B label follows the upstream Qwen convention. Pruning reduces stored
parameters while keeping 10 routed experts active per token.

SWE-bench Verified evaluation
The complete 500-instance SWE-bench Verified evaluation used the unmodified
official SWE-bench harness and the official mini-swe-agent prompt, with 250 steps,
temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, and top_k=40:
- 308/500 resolved (61.6%)
- 130 unresolved
- 38 empty patches
- 24 harness errors
