Qwen3-Next models are now supported in Vercel AI Gateway

You can now access Qwen3 Next, two ultra-efficient models from QwenLM, designed to activate only 3B parameters, using Vercel's AI Gateway with no other provider accounts required.

AI Gateway lets you call the model with a consistent unified API and just a single string update, track usage and cost, and configure performance optimizations, retries, and failover for higher than provider-average uptime.

To use it with the AI SDK v5, start by installing the package:

1
pnpm i ai

Then set the model to alibaba/qwen3-next-80b-a3b-thinking:

1
import { streamText } from 'ai'
2

3
const result = streamText({
4
  model: "alibaba/qwen3-next-80b-a3b-thinking",
5
  prompt: "What's your best argument for the health benefits of burritos?"
6
})

Includes built-in observability, Bring Your Own Key support, and intelligent provider routing with automatic retries.
