The unfortunate thing with their Qwen3-next naming is that it doesn't reflect on the fact that the architecture is completely different from Qwen3. Much more different than the difference between Qwen2 and Qwen3 even.

So support is likely to take quite some time because it's not just regular transformer blocks stacked on each other, but a brand new hybrid architecture using SSM.

Yeah I've been using qwen3 on mlx in July already
