QwQ-32B-Preview
QwQ-32B-Preview is a previous November 2024 Qwen reasoning snapshot, not a 2026 reasoning default. Rechecked 2026-08-18: leftover copy still said it matched DeepSeek-R1 (671B), beat OpenAI o1-preview on AIME / MATH, and needed only 24GB VRAM. The first-party note we opened 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. Drop leftover matches R1 / beats o1-preview / 24GB as a 2026 census.
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: Leftover copy treated QwQ-32B-Preview as a current efficiency crown.

- Website is the preview blog: Recheck that note before you hard-code benches.
- Not live Qwen chat: New Qwen work starts at Qwen3.8.
