Overview

Qwen3-32B on Groq is Alibaba's latest mid-size model, recognized as one of the strongest coding models in the free tier ecosystem. Running on Groq's LPU hardware, it delivers near-instant first-token latency with 131K output ceiling — the high output cap is particularly valuable for code generation tasks that need to produce full files or functions. The free tier allows 14,400 requests per day at 30 RPM, making it practical for daily development use. OpenAI SDK compatible; pair it with Cursor, Claude Code, or any tool that accepts a custom base URL. Registration required, no credit card.
