Qwen3 Coder deprecated, retires 2026-10-09

Alibaba's Qwen3 Coder model, released 2025-07-23 as qwen3-coder-plus, is deprecated and will retire on 2026-10-09, according to a provider announcement from Alibaba Cloud Model Studio. The model, which supports a 1049k context window and 66k max output, is also referenced under the aliases qwen3-coder, qwen.qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-v1:0, alibaba/qwen3-coder-plus, and amazon/qwen.qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-v1:0. The retirement notice directs developers whose code calls Qwen3 Coder to a status tool that flags models on a deprecation clock.
