Qwen3-Rerank

GA

Current GA reranking model in Alibaba's Model Studio lineup. Rerank models are not priced per input/output token in the standard text table, so all three price fields are null — an absence on Alibaba's own surfaces, not an unread value. CITATION REPOINTED 2026-09-10, and the reason matters more than the link: this row used to cite alibabacloud.com/help/en/model-studio/model-depreciation, which was rewritten on 2026-08-25 to drop its per-model tables entirely and delegate to individual service notices. It has named no model since, so it could no longer certify anything this row publishes — check-source-urls flagged it as 'resolves, but the document never mentions what it is cited for', which is exactly the shape that hid a stale citation on eight sibling rows until 2026-09-08. The row now cites Alibaba's 'Embedding and rerank' guide (last updated 2026-09-02), which names qwen3-rerank as a current recommended reranking model alongside gte-rerank-v2, and it is also listed as a live model on the Model Studio models index. That certifies status=ga, which is the only lifecycle claim this row makes: Alibaba publishes no deprecation date, no retirement date and no replacement for it, so those fields stay null. HISTORICAL, AND NO LONGER CERTIFIED BY ANY LIVE PAGE: until the 2026-08-25 rewrite the decommissioning policy's table listed qwen3-rerank as the replacement for the deprecated gte-rerank (gte-rerank deprecation 2026-05-30), which is why this row was added. The current guide recommends both qwen3-rerank and gte-rerank-v2 for reranking without stating a replacement relationship, so that pairing is recorded here as a dated past reading rather than asserted as a present fact.

Qwen3-Rerank by Alibaba is tracked live in our LLM catalog. It is generally available (GA). Its weights are publicly downloadable, so it can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure.
