The Nanbeige team announced Nanbeige4.3-33B on Sunday, a 33-billion-parameter model released under the Apache 2.0 license, so anyone can download it, run it and use it commercially ([Nanbeige on X](https://x.com/nanbeige/status/2114328933181333798), [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/Nanbeige/Nanbeige4.3-33B)).



The team's contact address is at Kanzhun, the company behind the Chinese job app Boss Zhipin. The model card shows it ahead of Qwen3.8-27B, Muse-Glimmer-30B and Gemma4-31B on most of 20 tests, including 80.9 vs 73.0 for Qwen on Terminal-Bench 2.1, a test of working in a command line, though Qwen edges it on SWE-Bench Pro and GDPval, and Gemma leads on GPQA Diamond.



These are the team's own numbers, not independent results. It handles up to 512K tokens of context, a separate Base version is also out, and the team says the model will act as a "teacher" to train a smaller Nanbeige4.3-3B. Within hours, the community posted dozens of compressed versions for llama.cpp and Macs; common 4-bit files are about 20 GB, which puts it within reach of a single 24 GB graphics card ([bartowski on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Nanbeige_Nanbeige4.3-33B-GGUF)). Early hands-on posts on X are mixed, with one tester calling it slow in his test and another saying it over-plans on simple tasks ([@Capetlevrai](https://x.com/Capetlevrai/status/2114406492291957181), [@PalosDDiego](https://x.com/PalosDDiego/status/2114412607230689514)).

*What to weigh:* the benchmark lead is self-reported and a day old. If you already run local models on a 24 GB card, it's free to try on your own coding or agent tasks; if you don't, wait for independent tests before reaching for it.
