Qwen3-Max-Thinking is the flagship reasoning model in the Qwen3 series, designed for high-stakes cognitive tasks that require deep, multi-step reasoning. By significantly scaling model capacity and reinforcement learning compute, it delivers major gains in factual accuracy, complex reasoning, instruction following, alignment with human preferences, and agentic behavior.
