QwQ-32B-Preview

QwQ-32B-Preview is a previous November 2024 Qwen reasoning snapshot, not a 2026 reasoning default. The first-party note on the public page is qwenlm.github.io/blog/qwq-32b-preview. Live Qwen chat on this site is Qwen3.8. Leftover DeepSeek-R1 and leftover OpenAI o1-preview are previous snapshots too.

Compare leftover DeepSeek-R1 if you wanted the leftover R1 twin already rewritten, leftover OpenAI o1-preview if you wanted the leftover o1 snapshot this page used to chase, and Qwen3.8 if you wanted the live Qwen path.

Key Features

Previous 2024 preview reasoner: older copy treated QwQ-32B-Preview as a current efficiency crown.
Not a 2026 census: Do not keep leftover AIME / MATH / 24GB / 671B claims unless you re-run a first-party card.
Website is the preview blog: Confirm that note before you hard-code benches.
Not live Qwen chat: New Qwen work starts at Qwen3.8.

Use Cases

People with a QwQ-32B-Preview bookmark who need the leftover o1 / R1 copy dropped.
People who were about to paste 24GB / AIME crowns into a 2026 deck.

Limitation: We did not re-run AIME / MATH or invent a 2026 dollar row.

Pricing
