AgentFounder-30B

AgentFounder-30B is an open-weights language model from Qwen, released September 16, 2025. It has 30B parameters (dense).

Large language models (LLMs) have evolved into agentic systems capable of autonomous tool use and multi-step reasoning for complex problem-solving. However, post-training approaches building upon general-purpose foundation models consistently underperform in agentic tasks, particularly in open-source implementations.
