Qwen3-Coder 480B-A35B Instruct deprecated

Alibaba's Qwen team has deprecated Qwen3-Coder 480B-A35B Instruct, the coding model released 2025-04-01 with a 262k context window, 66k maximum output and pricing of $1.50 per 1M input tokens and $7.50 per 1M output tokens. No retirement date has been announced for the model, which is also listed as alibaba/qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-instruct. The deprecation matters for developers whose code calls the model, since the status listing flags it as being on a clock.
